Great news!
The email channel is operational. It works.
What this means that if you are brigaded (dogpiled) by organized, synchronized harassers, or just one troll, and are not sure what to do, you are not left high and dry.

BIBGO!
After being attacked by a brigade of outright nazis, and desperately seeking technical advice, I have found a few admins who at least work with me via DM. Union Place admins included.But as yet now TIm is the first one to actually provide an email channel.
Hallelujah. (And I don't say that very often!)
Even if the DMs are erased, encrypted or even wiped -- it is too easy to accidentally post to your timeline when discussing security matters.
Props to TUP. #theunionmakesusstrong

Featured in Teen Vogue today:
"Fresh off a successful campaign to organize fast-food workers in the Pacific Northwest, the Industrial Workers of the World have also recently announced the formation of the Freelance Journalists Union, a move that brings labor’s radical history into step with its uncertain but exciting future."

1/2: Ohio Sonic workers have quit en masse, which at first glance seems like some good old-fashioned worker organizing.
However these locations were bought by a corporation, one that immediately started slashing wages and cutting costs. The notes left at the stores stated that all employees are “off to better things.”

What's your biggest fear when it comes to organizing at your workplace?
For most of us it's loss of hours and pay, or even loss of the job altogether.
Unions can't do everything for locked out workers, but we can offer some relief through strike/lockout funds or hardship funds.
Here's how the Seattle IWW branch did that— and the lessons they learned from the process (both good and bad):

Buzzfeed News Unionizes ✊
https://www.buzzfeednewsunion.com/
"BuzzFeed recently laid off about 15% of its workforce, and it was, uh, not handled great. But the overwhelming majority of employees are still here. Those who didn't get laid off last month fought for fair severance agreements for our peers, because we know this company is at its best when we advocate for one another."
