I am European. I am horrified by the direction the world is taking. I feel powerless against a class that crushes the world to serve its own interests.

Today I joined a union.

Not because I’m at odds with my employer. They’re treating me well.

I’m joining a union because we need class solidarity. I’m joining a union to protect and rebuild public services. I’m joining a union because democracy is more than voting for representatives.

@thibaultamartin I had a similar discussion with a colleague. As I said to her: "You have insurance for your car, house, incase your children break stuff. Joining a union is like having insurance on your job, you'll probably not need it, and when you do you'll be glad you have it."

@webhat

except this "insurance" is people you can talk to directly and explain the consequences if they choose not to pay out, unless insurance companies.
