I'm glad the labor movement I've supported from afar my entire life works for someone.

I'm gonna die on a ladder installing a projector because nowhere I've ever worked has been unionized, and no compensation I've ever received has been sufficient to save enough to actually retire young enough to do anything but wait to die. So death at work it is. I wish I could at least see the hubbub when they hear the thump of my body hitting the floor/desk/conference table, but I will be off to eternal oblivion. Finally. Pity about the shellshocked customers 🤣

Cheers to you, though. Unions work for America.
