what’s the way people deal with this?

Me personally? The first time it happened, we tried to just roll with the punches. Moved up the timetable, started organizing in the open. Most of us on the initial organizing committee got shitcanned, me included. But the union drive is still going on, I help out with flyering there sometimes.

The second time it happened, where I’m working at now, we put everything on ice. No movement for close to a year. Only started to pick things up again after the guy left the job in January.

Good work comrade, sometimes the best we can do is plant trees under whose shade we will never sit :fidel-salute-big:
