I am wondering if any of you have any links to clear, simple explanations of what the Joy Silk Doctrine is.

If you work in labor law you already understand a lot the rest of us are just starting to learn. Anyone have a “Explain like I’m Jorts” Joy Silk resource?
A lot of my good friends are really excited about this. Once more of us understand we can be excited with you and add to the conversation
This reply thread is very good
This article is also quite good: onlabor.org/joy-silk-cant-…

It’s so exciting that so many workers are asking about how to form a union where you work! Jean helped me make a thread of basic advice that applies to most workers in the USA A graphic illustration with...
For most workers there are 4 basic steps.

1. Talk to your co-workers who already agree with you. (NOT your boss obviously!)

2. Get advice by googling where you live + type of job + union, and ask the union local near you for advice. Most websites have a contact listed for this!
3. Once you have a strategy, you and the coworkers who already agree can start talking to more and more co-workers to build support for your union.

4. Show that your team supports forming a union through election or card-check once you have a strong majority of workers on board

You can’t get what you need unless you ask for (or demand) that thing. This is an idea that applies to so many situations but let’s use an example of American workers rights and the NLRB. This is a thread fyi An orange cat is laying on his back so his head is dangling
In the US if you encounter sketchy stuff, you have to REPORT it to get the NLRB’s help.

Like if you’re trying to form a union and a boss is intimidating you or doing “persuader activity” by paying someone else to do it, file a complaint. Anyone can do it nlrb.gov/resources/nlrb…
I’m not saying it’s not clunky. It’s super clunky tbh. But now in 2022 we have an NLRB that is as friendly to workers as we have had in a long time. You also only have a certain amount of time, and they aren’t allowed to investigate without a report.

We were looking out the window and I said to Jean “Wow, imagine inventing a car.”

Jean said nobody invented the car from nothing. So many people had to invent so many things. (Sorry this is a little bit long) 1/ A pensive orange cat is laying on his back so his head is ha
No one person invented a car, she said. Someone had to build a box to carry stuff. Someone realized a rolling round thing made moving heavy things easier.

Someone invented a wheel, and an axle. It’s exciting to think about, all over the world
Nothing happens from one person. Someone invented the engine, and the steering wheel. Someone invented a brake. Someone else invented a windshield and a windshield wiper.

A tweak of a thing that moves us forward

Does tape taste good or do I just like sticky? Study and report
Report 1: someone took away all the tape and ruined my science
Report 2: Standard methods (meowing) did not get the tape back. Without reliable access to tape this is going to be a hard science question to answer
