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

    Have you dealt with any rats yet? As in people who say they're interested and/or take lit and/or take a card, but then sell you out to management? That's happened to me before.

      Not so far. I have a pretty good relationship with the core group I’m working on, so hopefully it stays that way for a bit

        Me personally? The first time it happened, we tried to just roll with the punches. Moved up the timetable, started organizing in the open. Most of us on the initial organizing committee got shitcanned, me included. But the union drive is still going on, I help out with flyering there sometimes.

        The second time it happened, where I'm working at now, we put everything on ice. No movement for close to a year. Only started to pick things up again after the guy left the job in January.

          Good work comrade, sometimes the best we can do is plant trees under whose shade we will never sit :fidel-salute-big:
