Notes

  • Lower-to-middle management was able to be organized as they were closer to workers than CEOs

  • Union proposed a media blackout

    • Going to media is a way to use leverage

    • Don't want to shoot your shot

  • Management was punitive, emotionally manipulated organizers

  • Management reaction is similar to other organizing efforts

  • Organizing should be joyous, otherwise organizers will burn themselves out

  • Organizing should be personal

  • Kickstarter organizers knew they were going to set a precedent

  • Managers and business owners are able to organize on company time, unlike workers, example of how the bourgeoisie uses worker power against itself

  • Managers etc. can leverage business resources as well as the state against workers
