That fear of the company letting you go for anything at any time…with a union they just can’t do that They also can’t do that in countries with workers rights. This should be a standard right, not something that requires the workers to unionize. Edit: I understand that unions make it easier to enforce.

Serious question from an idiot: I work in tech but I’m the only guy in the company doing so (solo IT) so there’s no chance of a Union, right, because I’m all alone and no one to unionize with? Or are unions able to cover multiple companies, like The IBEW or something? I guess I’ve never really looked much into it. I do actually like my job and have successfully negotiated better pay on my own behalf, so maybe it’s not necessary? Minus I am in an at-will state so might be not worth it?

I tried to get my highschool leftist group to do a guerilla union rights leafleting campaign, specifically targeting Walmart, teaching all workers of how to unionize, what their rights are, and what anti-union lies to look out for. They said “unions aren’t leftist” and kicked me out.
