- Archaeological field technicians are long overdue for a union and the time to organize is NOW! If you're a field tech in CRM and interested in organizing your workplace, let us know and we can help connect you with the resources to get started!
- This is what companies wish they could get away with but we won't let them!! A recent job posting on shovelbums was retracted and reposted after receiving backlash for trying to offer $13/hr for a tech position (a living wage in Pennsylvania is estimated to be $22.91/hr) 🏺
- Once you get the conversation started, it's important to identify other people in your workplace who can commit to helping you organize! 1/3
- Mapping your workplace is an important early step in the organizing process 2/3
- Start with a core group of organizers and build out from there! 3/3
- There's no such thing as a union of one, so start talking to your coworkers and build solidarity in the workplace!
