I thought it might helpful to get a beginner’s perspective since people struggle so much with figuring out how to get started and imagining the first steps

How does it feel to know, concretely, that you're cooler than you were a week ago?
Couldn’t tell you the last time I felt this alive
It's a hell of a feeling. Just keep your spirits up it can be a long haul. I'm going on year two of trying to unionize. It can be rough especially if it's a large business with high turnover like retail has been lately. Just keep at it and hone your tactics to onboard new hires the second they express any sort of frustration
I appreciate the advice. We’ve had 5 resignations in the past week so I hadn’t even thought about new hires yet. I told my IWW contact to watch out for me overworking because I will absolutely hyperfocus and burn out if I don’t consciously try not to. I want this to be a marathon, but I absolutely have sprinter’s energy at the moment.
That's a fine way to start, especially to get people on board before they resign. If they're ready to quit then you can tell them to at least make demands on the way out even if they don't want to stick it out.
