Also to normalise both, come to think of it.

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.

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.

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... 🧠
