Is this a silly idea or could it actually work?

    Ahh 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

      Not 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.

        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.

      I think people doing salting usually work with a union and get a bunch of training with the union.
