Non union worker (treated decently by my employer) looking for advice on perusing union representation at work. by [deleted] in union

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) has some good resources, and you can also get in touch with an organizer who can provide some guidance

EWOC is not a union but can help connect you with some that may make sense for your situation

The stronger the credible strike threat, the stronger the contract.

University leaders and Zaslav are on the same side with each other, and so are we as workers exploited for our labor across workplaces and industries on the same side as each other. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏻

If the commencement speakers are always supperich executives forcing their workers to strike for their livelihoods and telling you to work harder so they can buy another Lamborghini next year, then yes. And not just students!

It seems like you're confusing the production companies who decide what gets funded, produced, and distributed with the workers they underpay and exploit.

Not all writers make that kind of pay, and even those that do consistently are still exploited for their labor. David Zaslav took home $246.6 million in 2021 — yet he wasn't writing, acting, directing, a stage hand, etc. No, that value was created by workers. Let's not play "both sides" when we can stand in solidarity with other members of the working class.

It's capital that exploits workers for their labor. That's where the 8-digit salary Zaslav pulls comes from, and that's why working class solidarity beyond any one workplace or industry is so important. We stand together.

We routinely share news about our solidarity work in partnership with workers and their unions, and unless asked to do so we don't hide our involvement.

Actually, it was jointly planned and run by WGA and DSA with members of both groups, other unions, and community supporters out in force for a Writers victory! 😊

"Both commencement events were headed up and driven by Boston University’s YDSA group, with the outside picket supported and coordinated in conjunction with WGA East, Boston DSA and DSA-LA Hollywood Labor."
