Good. We desperately need this.

All I want to do with my time is take shitty jobs and unionize them (I hate my job and am quitting). I have no idea how to do that normally but this will make that goal easier.

If you wanted to study it in a University setting, Labor Studies is the major I was considering when I transferred schools. Another option is to just get involved somewhere locally trying to organize. You’ll make contacts. Lastly, you could just touch base with the AFL-CIO or SEIU and ask where you can help locally.

Even with unions, workers are still getting screwed by shitty wages, no union ever gotten a worker a fair wage that equate the profits made by said-worker to the company employing them. There is not a fucking snowball chance in fucking hell, that Unions are not, by now, already owned and run by corporation who theatrically pretend to fight them, but actually secretly runs them.
