      Have you gotten a response from them already?

        Oh just planning ahead. If they respond (and there’s another user in this very thread saying they never responded to his emails), how exactly will the IWW help me form a Union? What’ll be involved? How can I form a Union when I don’t even have contact info for a lot of the employees here who don’t even know me?

          The first step is starting that conversation with the IWW or if you’d like you can reach out to your local AFL/CIO labor board as well

          https://wnyalf.org/dunkirk-area-labor-council-afl-cio/union-member-benefits

          But as far as what’s going to happen next that hinges on you actually engaging with the process and sending an email.

          I used the word navigate for a reason. If you need help during the process I’m happy to help.

          If you just want to continue a thought experiment for the purpose of proving a point I’m not interested.

            Oh. So you don’t have any idea as to how they “build you a union” or even an inkling as to what that means. You can just send emails (and god bless you for that!)

            Well, that sure is inspiring. I’ll have to pass that off to all of my clients too. Who knew they didn’t have to be poor! They could just contact the IWW, join or have some unions built for them, and that’s an easy peasy improvement on their quality of life. Makes you wonder why they haven’t all done that already! Guess they just plum never thought about it.

            And oh boy, I’ll tell all my coworkers right away about that link you sent me! They’ll be so excited to find out that by switching to AT&T they can save up to $10/month.

            Heck, with your knowledge maybe all of social services will start with a call to the IWW. Guess we just never thought of it either! But you know us workin’ class types, we just don’t have all that crawling out of poverty experience that you computer sciency types too.

              What straw man are you getting these statements from? I said none of that in anything I’ve posted here or ever.

              What a bitter, disingenuous and sad person you are. I really hope your clients are served better than you’re representing here.

                I get it man. In your heart you want the best for people. Maybe you think you’re genuinely helping. But all this confident grandstanding about “just join a Union!” When you have no fucking clue, no experience, no knowledge about jack shit about past websites and links is embarrassing. And being embarrassed is okay, because that’s the only way you can develop as a person, but if you want to actually help people - real people in the world, you have to do better. This is just self-serving masturbation for yourself. You can be better than that. It starts by admitting where you don’t know things.

                  Have you gotten a response from the IWW or AFL/CIO yet? Or are you still building your strawman argument?

                    Nevermind. I don’t think you actually care at all. You just want the applause. Bring out the empty cloche, get the applause of the pencil necked nerds. You don’t need real results. Why would you? People better than you are doing all of the actual work.
