I really hope people online aren’t getting the wrong impression of unions and that they’re flawless Things that will protect them from any and all mistreatment and that strikes are fun little treats union workers get
Unions are People not Things. Union leaders can fuck up. Unions can definitely operate in a way that gets you low wages and poor benefits if you’re not being represented well.
A union by itself does not guarantee you anything. Unions take work and money to run. You pay dues, you go to meetings, you vote. You protect each other in a union. You don’t join a union and magically have everything taken care of for you.
Strikes are a powerful tool but are scary. They’re not a goal to achieve. Unions don’t aim to go on strike during negotiations.
Taking a small break from working on pieces that have been super digital-heavy recently. Focussing on line work and not being scared of making mistakes or over focussing on “perfection”
Sometimes photoshop can give too much freedom to be overly critical of each and every mark you make and at the same time take joy and life out of creating.
