Looking for strategies on breaking into labor strikes
Following teamsters for now
Costco strike
Rochester strike
Gordon suggests recruiting people in the union already- gain contacts and make inroads in to the union- elevate the struggle into something higher
Requires Value extraction- Make friends with labor organizers
Broad message with something public like a board or online message- then the question is how to draw people in
Pamphlets are good but require simplification- a simple slogan like “The Way to Win”
Pamphlets might be easier to ignore- might be easier to have an ig with three posts
Do both perhaps
General political alternative
How do we get them to believe in us?
“What got you into Communism?”
Communism is the natural conclusion of what I believe- it’s so lied about bc it’s correct. In congruency with what average people believe.
Eddie Liger Smith study time
Yesterday’s debate proved that Communists saying the correct things that are reflexively already correct to normal people- will attract their attention
WE THE PEOPLE
Side tracked by Hinkle discourse - good lord - for like 10 minutes
Picketing isn’t a social event- This isn’t the DSA
There’s a different vibe from an insurance seller guy v Danny Shaw
Help build up morale of the people picketing
“Just Be”
Strive to be like Danny Shaw on the Picket Line
Be relatable - Need to not be repulsive
Gordon pronounced a coup when Spiros went to go get water
Personality is supplemental to the content
Workers on the picket line are soldiers on the making
Find out ways and means of keeping the fire allude within the picket line
What materials they need- Media exposure, gloves, hand warmers
If you’re going to be approaching the soldiers- need awareness of the industry itself
Make it or break it moment is always morale
Coordinate drip- Gordon
“Most militaries are insufficient with their drip now”
Buy ourselves a factory via Alibaba
PROVIDE GENUINE SUPPORT FOR STRIKE ACTION: have access to Church or property in the future
Sebastian- Getting them to feel like they can reach out to us. An authority that can actually materially assist them.
Signs- ACP LOGO but slogan pertinent to the strike
Sloganizing- memetic sloganizing.
Costco demands- Seniority rights, paid family leave, weather hazard pay, sick time, anti surveillance policy, retirement benefits, bereavement
America First is a perfect fucking slogan- Sebastian
Free the Families, Free the Workers, Free America
Halal used to be $5
Go to website for union- Find Local- find teamsters- find contact for staffer- what do we approach them with?
