Unionize - Blog Posts
Ok Im in a bad mood and I listen to political commentary, here’s why we need to raise minimum wage
More money in the average persons hands can and will stimulate the economy, also I like the idea of people being able to eat and sleep in a room, no it will not make things more expensive, that’s a lie sold by corporations to make more money off of what should be going to the worker, an issue that o do recognize however is that if minimum wage increases corporations might fire people to make sure they keep up profits, a solution to this however is unionizing, which while union crushing exists I assure you that unionizing is worth it, go on strike if you have to, without you these corporations are nothing, they know it, they just want to make sure you don’t,
Remember
Don’t turn in your two weeks, quit on the spot, they just want to use that time to replace you,
From The Animation Guild on Instagram:
“Congrats to the WB and Cartoon Network production workers for filing an NLRB petition to unionize and demand voluntary recognition! Show your support to help them get the representation they deserve! #unionstrong #weare839 #production strong”
The Palestinian friend I am raising money for is a labor activist, it's how we met. We had already been grad students in the same department for a couple years but we never talked until our school went on strike and he recruited me to help. I've seen him do some really amazing work with his activism, both for our workplace and for other causes.
Because of this, and because pretty much every union person I know is involved in Palestine activism too, I have made a few versions of the black cat/wildcat (an old labor symbol) wearing a keffiyeh for my fundraiser. Here's my new white on black one (found here):
Stickers of the wildcat designs have been a big hit in my immediate social circle since it's such a popular symbol here. Here are my older wildcat designs, which are better for stickers (found here and here):
As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend to support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt by the genocide in Gaza, the attacks in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.
You can find all my designs in my shop HERE. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Here's a small sample of my other work:
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate all the support.
What are two special interests that have nothing to do with each other, but fallowed a similar path of interest.
I’ll start Greek mythology and unions both started from a surface level description, that could be its own special interest, newsies, and Percy Jackson and spiraled.
