And I, like, I don't know how much I can, like,
hold those individual board members responsible when it seems like so many of them are like just now finding out about it.
But it is also like... There's a deep irony for him accepting an award from another union and rescheduling a meeting with ours to do it.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's because we have Jacob...
I always say it incorrectly, AFSCME.
Yeah, the MSI union, the grad students union in particular, have been incredible allies to us and have been... They were huge, like, presences on our picket because, like, because we did an open store running picket, we...
had only about half of our actual union members available because everyone else had to be on desks in the stores, keeping them running.
And so the majority of the people who were collecting signatures to get Jenny Goltz fired and otherwise improve our bargaining conditions were people from other unions who were just out there being in wonderful, awesome solidarity with us.
So my first picket line, I think I may have said this last episode, but my first picket line ever was the grad student picket line in 2019.
That was the first time I was ever on a picket.
Yeah, it makes me really happy to see that
the whole basis sort of union organizing from that has like, you know, it's, it's this thing that like, I remember when this was like, you know, like I was there and like one of the big pushes, everyone, they finally won.
And it's like, they're still around helping people because workers, workers fucking fight together.
