The first unionized Amazon warehouse in the U.S.
The first unionized Chipotle in the U.S.
The first unionized Apple Store.
The first unionized Trader Joe's.
260+ unionized Starbucks stores.
370+ worker strikes across the country.

2022 was a monumental year for worker power.

@rbreich it's not only sad that we haven't evolved enough to not need unions, it's sad that Union supporters can't see what a detriment they are to workers and their paychecks. I worked in the union once and it was a very sad, limiting situation. It's better to find a new job than join a union in the long run. Quitting a company en mass will force it to change it's practices

I've been a member of #ibew for over 25 years. I've got paid health insurance ( so long as I work for 30hrs a week) for any union contactor. I've got a guaranteed retirement. I can take classes through my local to keep me up to date with codes and new tech. I don't have to have every type of tool to do my work as an electrician. If I worked nonunion I would be required to have all of them. That's thousands of dollars.
@grey_ghost @milesaboveit @rbreich IBEW LU804 member for 45 years. With wise investing, I was able to retire at age 61, 4 years ago. My union pension keeps me in great financial health. Being a UNION electrician is the only way to go! Thanks, IBEW!
