Paizo Recognizes United Paizo Workers

I really like the UPW motto "Don't split the party"

At this point, the party feels pretty split to me.

Paizo Recognizes United Paizo Workers, that's a good thing.

This thread is getting hard to follow. Is there someone at Paizo that thinks the union is not doing enough to protect them, and is that person asking for our help, if so what help would they like?

or is there something else I missed

I stopped coming to the threads and reading every post because of this.

My goal is not to split the party.

I am still waiting for the people at the top to come back and discuss what is happening regarding the original issues that started this fire in the first place.

Dismissing Sara Marie. Diego Quitting in Solidarity and the lack of faith in leadership that got us here in the first place. Personally that is the transphobic policies and the doxxing of customers.

I don't think you missed anything. I think this thread is and should be for the support of the Paizo Union. It is great the Paizo is recognizing the union voluntarily!

That however shouldn't be allowed to become a distraction from the issues that forced their hand to unionize in the first place. Untenable work environments fostered and created by the leadership.

So anyway let's say this Union doesn't fall apart from infighting or whichever. Would I have to become a member of this Union to even freelance for them?

Freelancers/contract employees likely aren't covered by the union. Again: US labor protections are trash. However, union negotiations might include protections that just happen to also apply to freelancers due to how organizational changes affect everyone.

No I meant would I have to join them or am I going to be stone walled from being hired?

No, freelancers are entirely different, and actually not allowed to unionize under federal law. They also aren't a closed shop union, meaning that they won't require union membership.

Is that the only thing holding you back? or are you just trying to raise theoretical arguments against a union because there are no actual valid arguments against a union?

Everything is bad faith to you all. I raise a question, get it answered, and you go nuts about the question being asked.

Closed for moderation.

I have removed quite a few posts that are little more than bickering and since this thread doesn't seem to be able to get back on topic, or have any positive dialogue at this point, I'm going to keep it closed.
