minus-squarePlantsR [love/loves]hexagonhexbear29·2 years agoAhh these are some very good questions, the kinda stuff I need to know but wouldn't have even thought to ask. I've never unionized a place before. But I think I would be good at talking to coworkers. The job would be awful tho, I hadn't actually thought about that. Idk if I'd even end up hanging around long enough to actually start the unionizing link
minus-squareLaughingLion [any, any]hexbear26·2 years agoNot sure if unions still do this but back in the day you could be a professional salt. Union would train you on how to do it and so on. link
minus-squarePlantsR [love/loves]hexagonhexbear8·2 years agoOh I think I know some wobblies from my DSA chapter. I should talk to them link
minus-squareAwoo [she/her]hexbear9·2 years ago Not sure if unions still do this but back in the day you could be a professional salt. Amazon unionisation efforts at JFK8 involved multiple salts working in coordination as a team with one another. Salting is not only still something being done professionally but something that is expanding in the current labour movement, and quite sophisticated. link
minus-squareFrank [he/him, he/him]hexbear14·2 years agoI think people doing salting usually work with a union and get a bunch of training with the union. link

minus-squareRod_Blagojevic [none/use name]hexbear7·2 years agoIt's often a long process, and you'll probably have to lay low for a while. It's a commitment. link
