do you have an organizing committee that meets regularly already or are you building up to that?

My supporting IWW chapter meets regularly, but is too far away physically for me to attend so far. Working on possibly starting up regular meetings for us.

what % of the company workers have you already done one on ones with?

When I say I just started, I mean I’m less than a month in. So less than 10%

what’s the level of support for the union you have had so far?

I’ve started with a group of people who know each other from outside work, are younger, and are more left-leaning, so support of collective action so far has been nearly universal, but I expect that will drop drastically as this continues.

are you close to getting a representative survey of the list of your most urgent demands?

Not yet

what kind of retaliation are you expecting and how are you preparing for it?

Management has a major impulsivity streak as well as a few more savvy people. So it’s kind of hard to pin down because it depends on who has the reigns. We have some messaging and narratives we’re looking at running with and, whether their retaliation is effective or not, I’m expecting it to be aggressive
