idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better
1. Striking is the LAST RESORT. If a union is at the place where a strike is being proposed it is because they have been bargaining for a long time and exhausted all their other options.
2. Before a strike happens, all the members vote. Everyone is very aware of the status of negotiations long before they’re made public. But if a strike is occurring it’s because an overwhelming majority voted to strike—you want almost everyone in the union to agree before you take such a huge step.
3. Strikes are difficult but necessary demonstrations of workers’ collective power. The hope is that your labor is so essential that the bosses lost profits will make them come back to the bargaining table. The bosses are hoping that the workers will starve to death.
4. Working during a strike is called scabbing. Coming in from an outside industry to do work during a strike is sometimes called crossing the picket line. Both send you straight to hell.
cd hatred will always make me say what the even hell are you saying right now like listen to me right now if you show a cd love it will literally love you right back but also the thing about cds is that you also don’t have to show them love to be loved back like i can throw that shit around i can force feed that baby into my car like i do not have a care in the world and leave her in my car for 24 hours a day every day for four months with an internal temperature of 120 degrees, i can pop her in a cd player and jumble her around in my bag i can literally toss her like a frisbee into a boombox and miss and she will still come back like cds aren’t invincible but imagine doing that with a vinyl she’d be weeping and shaking and asking to be put back into her sleeve and tucked in meanwhile my cd is getting a makeover in sharpie and smoking a cigarette
