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 long surprised me that there's no worldwide site workers can go to anonymously create/join a local union and talk with others in the same area/company.
Sure, there are issues about having to eventually meet in person to know you're not just talking to company shills, just like if you make a FB/WhatsApp/Telegram group or hand out leaflets outside the business.
It feels like avoiding having a well known central hub hides potential union members from each other more than management.
I'm the first person to admit I'm not deeply in the union scene and don't know most of what's out there.
That said, searching online didn't turn up the IWW for me (Google/Bing bias?) and the I in IWW standing for "industrial" doesn't sound like they represent post-industrial industries (although their website says they do).
Having to put in your real name and phone number as their step 1 though would be a deal breaker for me as a worker, though.
Glad they exist, though!
