In my eyes it is a labour issue, and it is best solved through unionization; the only people to truly care about the wellbeing of any group of workers are themselves.

Forgot to add that ICE agents are apparently prepared to ask for unionization as part of this reform. So, make themselves impossible to fire while claiming it was all a "few bad apples."
ICE agents are already spreading rumors (through their RW media sources) that they are "happy" about the midterms because they want "more accountability" for the new hires. Do not believe this!!

Of course they aren’t, lol. Doubtful they’re ranchers either. They probably worked at the local petroleum products plant or grain elevator and are blissfully unaware how unionization might’ve improved their lives.

Great insider info, analysis about previous struggles, how this unionization campaign builds on, extends issue-based local struggles.
"I’ve spoken with warehouse workers in India, Germany, Poland, France, Spain, Mexico, the US, and more. If we can connect our struggles..we can make an impact that goes beyond our workplaces and expands what’s possible for the entire working class" #Amazon

Awesome to see, Dems are focused on reversing OBBBA cuts but passing PRO ACT is paramount too
Unionization not only increase worker power/wages but foster solidarity & more social welfare legislation -> voters wanted an economy/govt for the people, not the monied & PRO Act w/ min wage does this

Here is the complete testimony of Gatsby Blue, which I think gives some interesting insight to just how rough-and-tumble SpindleHorse was during the Hellaverse's earlier years before Prime Video and unionization.
It's good to remember that Spindle is a LOT more professional now. They've grown up.

This sparked one of tech's first unionization drives, and it was a bitter fight, with management pulling out every dirty tactic in the union-busting playbook:

yeah not a big shocker that an indie animation gig isn't going to pay as much as an industry animation gig at like Disney.
again, presuming the 10$/ hour was before unionization. i assume joining w/ amazon was partly also a way for spindlehorse to alleviate costs for better pay rates.

Studios like ours are THE blueprint for a better industry!
Democratic co-ownership and operation (along with Unionization) isn't just how this industry *survives*, it is how we all thrive!
The future isn't executives extracting wealth from our labor; it's WE, the workers, leading the charge!

Unionized studios and worker-owned studios/co-ops are the future of this industry.

We actually were starting to see some movement, finally, toward unionization in the software industry in the first half of the 20s. But the people doing that organizing were all laid off along with the transsexuals (and of course, a disproportionate amount of the time *were* the transsexuals…)

I had to make myself very vulnerable in some meetings, but it was for the greater good! And we’re moving toward unionization (FINALLY) so maybe things can get even better, status-wise 🤞🤞

JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine are veterans of a string of hard-fought unionization drives at tech workplaces that started with some astounding successes but ran up against ferocious resistance in the second Trump term.

I remember some bits about early unionization coming up in the Behind the Bastards episode on Hank Ketchum (the Dennis the Menace guy), cuz the cartoonist strikes against Disney were crazy, cuz Disney was a huge piece of shit.
