Comment on Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration

I have a pro-driver pro-union UPS placard in my window and a “Unionize Amazon” sticker on my hoodie. I’m happy for UPS workers. They fought and won a much better contract. It’s genuinely exciting that there’s so much positive union activity in the USA right now.

It’s because people are realizing it works. Like airline attendants are on the picket line with the actors and the writers now. A win for any of them is a win for all of us. Power to the people baby

  We had decades of low union activity that gave corporations the chance to show how well they would take care of us on their own.
  
  And they super fucked entire generations of workers.
  
  Now people must unionize, or their dirt salaries will lose them their rented homes and starve their kids. So we’re seeing a blossoming of union activity in many sectors.
  
  It’s time for workers to have a tiny slice of those mega-profits corporations have been earning off our backs.
  
  Unionize America!
