Do you think you’d be able to move to a state with better rights?
Comment on Unions work. That's why the corporations don't like them.
HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 months agoI will, my only problem is that I am in a state with very weak human protections, both a right to work, and a at will hiring state.
So, would love some resources and how to avoid being the one who, volunteers to bell the cat so to speak

I have been asked this several times, I need time I have asked why people seem to think that moving is free.
It isn’t that I’ve just never considered the possibility that I could get up and move to a different state, it’s the fact that I have the support network here in my home state that I would not have anywhere else, and that support network is the only reason I’m not on the streets.

I’m not sure how to overcome those hurtles. But check out the SEIU website. That’s the union that organized the justice for janitors movement. I know that they’re currently working on unionizing other marginalized employees across the country (like adjunct faculty). I’m sure there are resources on their website.

Thanks, because I am in North Carolina and the labor situation down here is terrible.
That said my supervisor in coworkers are pretty cool, I’m pretty sure that if we lived in a different state we would already be in a union. I’m on a first name basis with my supervisor, and you know I’ve rubbed out those with her and her people enough times to know that basically everything that goes tits up around here is the fault of corporation, heck, my boss is boss is pretty much admitted during one meeting that the only reason he doesn’t have it bigger budget or a company card is because he’s pretty sure he’s not the right color to get it.
Basically almost every job I have worked in this state, which is the only state I’ve ever worked in, with the exception of the job I have now. Had this whole seminar about how we should never trust Union people and even threaten penalizing employees who speak of such things. Which I’m sure is not legal.
