We tell ourselves so many stories in order to justify low pay for creative workers. "It's a passion, not a profession." "You can make a killing, but not a living." "Do it for the exposure." And the below "class traitors" line, Etc... Both creative workers and consumers tell stories like this.1/2

With Black Friday approaching, there will inevitably be well-intentioned talk that these deals are only possible because workers are denied a livable wage. Don't buy into this. It's not low prices vs. fair pay. It's the demand for ever-higher profits and shareholder returns that forces deprivation.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

UAW 2110 this week petitioned the NLRB for a union election for nearly a thousand staff of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Workers cite pay inequities, lack of job protection and ever-increasing workloads as reasons for the unionization efforts. Read: nycclc.org/news/staff-m...

"...it’s a business built on the unpaid and underpaid labor of the very workers who generate its product. Art is labor, no different from any other kind of labor..."

"Do it for exposure" never ends. The exploitation of artists is the point, not some inconvenience artists have to navigate on the way to paid opportunities.
