Does anyone here help organize like labor unions and tenants unions and so on?Encouraging Daycare Workers To Strike
I realized that the daycare industry is a single point of failure that could cause a shockwave of strikes. Most of the adult population becomes parents at some point. Parents need their kids to be in daycare between 1 and 4 years old so they can actually go to work and get shit done. Daycare is privatized in the USA and the daycare workers don't have very good unions. But I think if the daycare workers got organized, and went on a massive strike, it would make most parents unable to go to work, because they would need to stay home and watch their kids. This could create a domino effect leading to huge labor unrest in many other areas. I'm also thinking sanitation, electrical, and transportation workers need to strike. There will be a lot of suffering but this could lead to revolution. Not all sectors are equal when it comes to cascading effects of labor unrest. There are some areas that are way more likely to cause a domino effect than others. You feel?Animals with Jobs

Their weekly allowance of one shilling went toward food for all three cats. This arrangement was dependent on the new employees’ ability to lower the mouse population- a job they proved born to do!Unions, Think Tanks, NGOs, International Orgs, Institutes, non-party orgs

I used to think differently about service jobs for years as I wasn’t one of those “if it isn’t blue collar it isnt a real job” socialist nut heads, but my feelings for that idea has shifted towards it for different reasons./ORGANIZE/

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.Motivation
What makes you motivated to wake up each week day and begin another days work? Am personally not particularly motivated by things, so am looking for something of another form. Am currently a student more or less dreading and finding it difficult to imagine enjoying most of my life. Am looking for a perspective to stop dreading the future working so much.How the fuck are you supposed to apply for an academy like this?
How the fuck are you supposed to apply for an academy for a profession where they already require you to have prior knowledge and skill for it when you want to fucking learn it? I want to study to become a 2D animator and the requirements literally require me to make a fucking short film even though I have not been taught how to before. And I cannot find any private tutoring for 2D animation so I can actually prepare to apply.Union contract language during the new red scare
Seeking good contract language protecting political activity and speech to reduce the risk of getting fired over being a communist or anti-zionist. My workplace is majority anti-zionist Jewish people with a plurality of reds. A handful of zionist and rightoid pricks really hate that fact and keep trying to wield management against us and call in outside zionist orgs for backup because our existence fucks with their messaging that all Jewish people support Israel.inferiority complex from not being "extremely manly"

I work at a shitty grocery store in an even shittier area. People come in who are completely illiterate and need to be walked through each step of paying.
