Reposted by vlada 👁 ➤ UVW-CWALia @liasae.bsky.social · 22/05/2026You can't both advocate for unionization and then act like a good indie boss is all you need for things to be fine, come the fuck on, be serious. Small companies famously play fast and loose with labor law or just don't have employees, meaning workers have way fewer rights and you're back to faith 1143 14
