Is it my responsibility to quit this job and get a lower pay one to unionize? Honestly I'm genuinely lost on how to help everyone else. I guess the issue is I'm not selfless enough to give up my lifestyle or money to help. I have voted for labour (or any other party besides the Tories) every single local and general election. That's pretty much all I can do permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] explodicle@local106.com 2 points 2 years ago Without knowing the specifics of your situation, I'd suggest maybe keeping your existing job, but talk to your coworkers. Start by discussing salary, and then work your way up to possible unionization. You shouldn't have to be selfless; that won't scale. I can somewhat relate - I'm an engineer and only a handful of us at my company seem interested in unionizing. permalink fedilink source parent
