    @bvibber Hey wait, the law says I’m not even allowed to be in one!

    A union, I mean…

      @bvibber @brooke I had to stare at this for at least a minute before realising it didn’t say unicorns

        @bvibber oh course, you often don’t really find you needed one until after you’ve been fvcked…

          Omg! I didn't realize it didn't say unicorns until I saw this

          I was reading through the replies to understand what the reasoning was for everyone to need a unicorn if they're told they don't need one. Unions make so much more sense... 🧠

            @brooke If I'm already a unicorn, do I need more? I have a few in my contacts list, and @alice is perhaps the sparkliest

              @screwturn Oh my! Such options...
              Almost reminds me of that movie "Death of a Unicorn" (some characters suffer certain types of offing that you may or may not find interesting)

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

                            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.

                                    @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 I see your point, and love this way of explaining it.

                                          But, if someone tells me I don't need a condom, then they are right because there is absolutely no way I'm touching that even with a protective layer of rubber! 🤣
