If you don’t have a union - you can build one! Four steps. Not saying it’s easy but it is possible and it’s extremely cool
ONE FOR EACH PAW
Four Steps to Form a Union

1. Talk to your co-workers who already agree
2. Get advice from local unions or organizers
3. Work together to build support
4. Show that support through an election or "card-check"

Just last year, Vinay Prasad, now a Food and Drug Administration official, said of the public health professionals who guided the Covid-19 response, "I don't believe in forgiveness, because in my opinion, these pieces of shit are still lying." Prasad left the agency on July 30, but was reappointed to his position on Monday, not even 72 hours after the CDC attack.

Screenshot of a Vox article header in the Policy section. The headline reads in bold, "The fight over transgender rights in America has entered a new phase." Below it, the subheadline says, "The policy fight is moving well beyond sports and youth medicine. The political response hasn't caught up."
