thats awesome. agree with everything you said! its cool. i was a UPS driver and became a shop-steward at my building. then became an organizer in our amazon division. so ive mostly worked with truck drivers and warehouse workers. its extremely important work! also very difficult. these companies are very powerful and break the law A LOT

we had a big contract campaign in 2023. i was very involved in that. was an exciting moment. there are a million challenges. to keep it simple: the turnover rate combined with amazon's willingness to illegally retaliate against workers for organizing makes organizing feel like building a house of cards

When the fees for illegal retaliation are low enough, and when any punishment takes years to enstate, many companies just see those fines as the cost of doing business. Amazon is for sure like that

reallt two can go hand in hand, especially working for companies such as pfizer which is one of the few companies that actually work towards access like suspending patents and funding manufacturing costs

As the next week brings an election, I challenge you to decide which side: won their primary despite receiving 0 votes, has the power of the elites, war mongers, media giants behind them, is endorsed by adversary V Putin, preferred by China, throws concerts instead of addressing voters. The choice is yours dear friend. -Kremlin Operative, KGB grad 1980
