    We’re getting really close to that point with our finances. Fingers crossed on some of the jobs I’ve been interviewing for.

    In the mean time my current place is starting the rumbles of unionizing. It’s about ducking time.

        After getting enough people to agree to do it, then pick a leader, then get the company to negotiate instead of fire everyone, then agree on a deal. Immediately after all that would you see a pay increase, again if the company doesn’t just fire everyone

          Well, they can’t just fire us. We’re on some serious contracts and trying to replace us on mass would be nearly impossible.

          The biggest hurdle is that the courts have ruled that people in our roles can’t legally unionize in the US, so it’ll be ugly for a while.

          That said, we’re starting a series of union training sessions and trying to fire that up because the alternatives are not good.
