Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans explore how much overlap there is between labor organizing and the people positive work done by The Ready.

Think “union” and what comes to mind? Collective agreements and community building? Power struggles and strikes? Sepia-toned photographs of early-20th century factory floors? If you’ve never been in or around a union, they can carry a whiff of mystique—even old-fashionedness.
That’s why Aaron and Rodney asked Ready member Tanisi Pooran, who’s worked in the field of labor organizing and workers’ rights, to help demystify the process a bit. They shed light on the common people-positive practices both unions and The Ready uphold, how our two worlds could cooperate and help each other evolve, and why anti-union feelings still persist at even the most progressive and forward-thinking organizations.
