this is amazing & inspiring, I wish I had heard of you when I worked at a supermarket before I started working with decent workers cooperative, which can take time to set up.
I still aim to join though because I realise you are a union fighting for true revolutionary change as well as safety & equality.
Change from the inside rank & file is far more effective than just attacking from the outside, although after being treated like shit by managers this did temporarily make me feel good once.
