#often times unions will have people who work the picket lines and lobbying etc. for better conditions.

back when i worked at [large chain coffee store], i tried to unionize my workplace. my manager sat me down and gave me a very guilt trip-y talk. lots of "but i thought we were a family :(" and "you don't *really* know what unionization does, do you?" i played dumb and managed to avoid being fired, but. chilchuck momence.

#mod chilchuck #i will say: i feel like chilchuck would be more adamant about forming a union given that he actually has done it #like. he has definitely received pushback for trying to form a union. even from other halflings (mickbell). #and i feel like he would know how to deal with it. #not to say that you didnt deal with your situation well. just that he had different priorities and wasnt at as much riskof losing his job(s) #given that he wasnt dealing with the fucked up job market we have right now. in which its dominated by very few companies. #diferent people are in different situations and sometimes you have to pick and choose you battles #which is why unionizing is so important. bc you dont always have to put yourself at risk to get better conditions #often times unions will have people who work the picket lines and lobbying etc. for better conditions. #working together makes us stronger. its not an individual's fight. its for all of us. #n e ways... that was long. #also. sorry for the late response to the ask. we (the blog) decided that it would be most fitting if i aswered this one. #and i was struggling to come up with a response. #(and having a severe episode of hypochondria) #dungeon meshi #chillchuck #laios #marcille #izutsumi
