Unionize Target.

Unionize Best Buy.

Unionize WALMART.

I guarentee you the thing Walmart fears most in this world are their workers unionizing. They are royally fucked if that happens. I was subjected to a ton of anti union propaganda while there. I also bet anything that if it did happen, they’ll raise prices, and blame it on the “unreasonable demands of the workers,” to pit the customers against the employees.

We’re forgetting someone. Unionize agricultural workers!

Unionize domestic and childcare workers, they’ve always endured working in extremely atomized, isolated working conditions that leave them uniquely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse!

I’m deputy of our office’s union, and lucky enough to live in a country where unions are relatively without stigma.

Unionising is honestly one of the best things you can do to protect your livelihood and make it better for those that follow.

Businesses fear the union of workers for a reason; you start to compare wages, share grievances, notice favouritism, discrimination and discrepancies, and learn from experiences etc. It’s the worst kind of office gossip for employers. 
 My work place is part of a huge company which is nearly always above board; but through our unions we discovered a huge pay difference between us and other centres, we’ve discovered staff not getting the same holiday allowances, issues with duty of care for those with disabilities etc, and every year we get to negotiate our pay rise rather than just accepting whatever shitty percentage they give everyone else.

I know it’s easier said than done in some countries and job fields, but even meeting with your coworkers and sharing your thoughts is a good move – you’ll be surprised at how much you realise you weren’t aware of.
