Unions are like condoms -- if someone tries to tell you you don't need one, you *definitely* need one.

@bvibber Ah, yes: the Venn diagram of unions, condoms, and N95 masks.

@screwturn I feel Chekhov would insist that, if a horn is present, it should be used.

@screwturn @h3mmy @brooke @alice @olivvybee @bvibber Rainbow colored poison Gas farts....

@Seebaer @screwturn @h3mmy @brooke @alice @olivvybee @bvibber

Of course unicorn farts would be rainbow colored. Possibly even glittery.

[screwturn@mastodon.social]

@w_b
Glitter adds an interesting potential. The right kind of glitter can be very flammable, and in a cloud, can be really explosive. You can blow a whole building up with a small amount of the right kind of glitter drifting through the air.

Contracting corporate transmissable disease is no fun. Better safe than sorry.

@bvibber @meadow I was rly confused bc I read that as "unicorns" ....

[linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io]

@bvibber My dad was a firefighter who viewed unions as a necessary evil -- you have to pay dues and have a new level of social headaches, but they protect you from so much worse.

My attitude is that every manager, up and down the chain, has the job of preventing their employees from NEEDING a union. Treat everyone fairly, pay them well, don't favor in-groups over out-groups, and listen to their concerns. If you fail to do that, then unionization is the necessary result because management has failed at their jobs.

@bvibber and when anybody starts talking weird about being a family — heavens do you need one.

[daniel_bohrer@chaos.social]

@tiefling ok good, I was not the only one But tbh, it made totally sense to me as well!
@bvibber @meadow

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@minego @bvibber that's the correct approach

[avuko@infosec.exchange]

@mildpeach @bvibber which is why everyone needs to use condoms and join unions preventively.

Also to normalise both, come to think of it.

[sapphireangel@mastodon.online]

@TheQuinbox @bvibber I wish everyone had the option of a union.

[purple@tech.lgbt]

@dequbed @bvibber when they repeatedly tell you the disadvantages of the union (vs non…) contract, join a union harder.

[musicmatze@social.linux.pizza]

@bvibber
I've read that as "Unicorns" and that's much funnier

[tal@mastodon.social]

@elexia @minego @bvibber the only correct approach is retreat!

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@tal @minego @bvibber can't underestimate a tactical retreat. with covering fire if necessary.
