Union solidarity.


The other week I was picking up some envelopes from a Staples near me, and I was wearing my union t-shirt from the Scott Walker protests, which is bright red with a blue fist in the shape of Wisconsin on the front and “STAND WITH WISCONSIN” in caps on the back.

As I was leaving my register, a(n older) (white) woman at the opposite register to which I had my back was like, “Hey, what’s your t-shirt?”.

I walked over and showed her, and she complimented it.

She then said something about how she just had started working there, and we both talked a very little bit about how unions needed to step up and fight more since the working class was getting fucked.

To close the conversation, we fistbumped, then I left.
