With 99% member participation, we authorized a strike with 92% support. I’m so proud of the solidarity we have in @propublicaguild@union.place. Our work is important enough to fight for a strong contract.

Yesterday I walked by a worker painting the ceiling of a business and he was standing on stilts. Work stilts! Somehow this was a small revelation to me.

And then I thought, are circus stilts also work stilts? After all clowns are also workers.

As it turns out, yes, the same company that makes “drywall stilts” also offers “performer stilts.” You can buy them at stilts dot com. I had no idea!

Here are some photos I took at a practice picket yesterday with my @propublicaguild@union.place colleagues. I was excited to meet Scabby, a true NYC celebrity!
