    Alright. Help me navigate it. I sign up for them and then what? Their website looks more like it’s for networking, but I give them $22 and now what?

      First you email them and let then know your industry, where your work is located and ask them if there are any local reps. Don’t pay dues until you contact the local rep.

        They said there wernt any reps nearby. I don’t live in a major metro area. What now?

            Do you think it’s impossible that the IWW does not have representatives in every part of the country…? I live in an area where there aren’t most major organizations. I had to start my own DSA chapter.

            Go on. You said you’d walk me through the process. They have no reps here. What do I do now?

                You’re dodging the question in hopes of restarting the whole process. They don’t have a rep in my area. What now?

                  You’re not acting in good faith. You haven’t engaged with any union activities and are currently masturbating about it on Lemmy in a leftist meme thread. If anybody is dodging anything it’s you.

                  If you’re interested in joining or starting a union I’m very happy to help. But you’re not, you’re trolling.

                    The slightest opposition (not living in a major area) is enough to make you throw up your hands and go “this is impossible! It’s unrealistic!”. You can’t even entertain what forming a union is like for 5 seconds, you want to puff out your chest and tell everyone else to do it?

                    There’s no rep in the area. What happens next?

                Dunkirk, New York. You can email them yourself to see if they have a rep here. I’ll save you some time - they don’t. What now?

                  What’s your industry? Are there any contacts at your local business that could also be interested in forming a union?

                    I’m a caseworker. There are only 25 employees. I have never spoken to probably 15 of them. Of the 10 I know well, maybe half would actually go through with forming a union. What now?
