So I'm posting this here because I need to ask for help. I just got a job offer from the steel mill, and expect to start working there next month. It's a blue-collar job, and I expect there to be plenty of disparity between what value the workers produce and how much we are paid. So, I want to unionize. I'm currently in Australia, and last time I posted a question to the subreddit (My uncle is a politician, how do I convince him?), I got way more answers suggesting I unionize my workplace rather than try to flip a career-long conservative politician in a conversation. Unfortunately the subreddit got removed, and all the resources they gave me for unionizing your workplace got removed with it. So yeah, I'm here asking for them again, knowing that this time I'll use them, for unionizing, and especially unionizing in South Australia.

    Good bit of advice. Remember, OP, you're going in there to unionize but you have to LISTEN first and foremost to your coworkers. They've been there a lot longer and know what needs to change, and no human being is going to take kindly to someone coming in with the clear intention of using them for a particular political outcome.
