The Answer to Burn Out At Work Isn’t “Self-Care,” — It’s Unionizing. We’ll just uh… just leave this right here.
Being in a union means that you and your coworkers work together to fix the problems at your workplace, and then negotiate for solutions with management. Whether this means collectively bargaining for raises, vacation time, better healthcare or more clear-cut job duties, there is an undeniable strength in a union. The negotiations will result in a legally enforceable union contract. Unlike most employee handbooks, once you have a strong union contract, management can’t erode your pay or benefits, or fire you without notice.

As a historian of nightlife, I'm sort of obsessed w/ the origins of bar names. In 1970, doctors amputated dancer Shelly Bauman's leg following a freak accident w/ a confetti cannon. She sued those responsible & used the funds to open a gay bar in Seattle. Its name? Shelly's Leg. pic.twitter.com/7gwvnw2Lkr
