    Are you in the US? I just tried that for my job and found exactly as many options as expected. I’ll give you 0 guesses how many it was.

      I am not, which I realize is a huge privilege at this point in history. I’ve gone ahead and just searched workers union in atlanta (first city that came to mind) on duckduckgo and found this: https://ufcw1996.org/

      You can also join the international version of the union which i am a member of. They’re more radical and demand system change and quite large, depending on the country: https://www.iwa-ait.org/

      I realize that the us has been completely gutted in terms of unions. That does not excuse not trying to join one and it is exceedingly stupid to blame anyone but the powers that be for this.

      Individualizing systemic oppression is one of the largest weapons against an organized population. Making you hate your neighbor, the local soup kitchen etc for some bogus reason is what isolates people an makes them easy to manipulate.

      Keep that in mind if you get frustrated with democracy inducing organizations sometimes not being perfect. “Perfection” is another bogus idea of our sick system. “Works” is what we should strive for and noting more because that means more exploitation of life.

      I wish you a good read and feel free to contact me if you need help.

          You’re aware that you’re claiming things and provide no sources or proof for them, right?

          Maybe lets start with trying to do the basics in debating other people. If you make a statement that is not unilaterally understandable, you back it up.

          That said, your ad hominem shows me you lack the personality to survive in a union. Going after fellow workers gets you kicked out in a heartbeat. We’re one class. Divided we fall, united we stand.

          Now show respect and explain if you think I’m wrong or gtfo.

              Perfect description of your behavior.

              Anti union actor who tries to turn it around on those telling others to take the leap in good faith.

              People who try to undermine the fight against oppression are the enemy, willfully or not.
