SAG just announced a strike vote for the actors in the video game industry. UAW could walk out in two weeks, with 150,000 workers shutting down the big U.S car makers. Unions are surging and workers are winning big. This Labor Day feels different. jphilll.com/p/this-labor-d…
@JoshuaPHilll Unions have done a lot for jobs in right to work states and other countries. Extortion always backfires in the long term.
@JoshuaPHilll It’s nice to feel a bit of cautious optimism for once. It actually feels appropriate to use the term “labor movement” for the first time in a long time. There is no left that isn’t a labor left; that’s where our power has to derive from.
@JoshuaPHilll My take: voice acting in video games are obnoxious because they hinder modding. So I tend to turn them off anyway.
@JoshuaPHilll Everyone that can, go on strike. Show the billionaires that you DO MATTER. We can reduce some exploitation. Hit them hard and do it now.
