I see where you’re coming from. Having an organizer walk is an issue. I disagree with your notion that me organizing and walking is worse than not having tried at all.
But then, there’s a reason I haven’t tried at this job to organize, I know I might be leaving.
I do have one question for you. You say I’m making it worse and are the problem. Have you done anything to make a union happen?
I disagree with your idea that it is my personal responsibility to take a worse position, job wise, financially, when it doesn’t just affect me, it affects my family. Especially when the potential for improvement is just that, potential. Not guaranteed. Not automatic. And it comes with the risk of retaliation by the business. Sure, people died back in the day, but that’s not something that has to happen anymore. We have labor laws.
I suppose it does boil down to fuck you, I got mine in a sense, but not entirely. But maybe that’s what I value more than a total worker revolution.
What can’t you find?
