Most people who are in the (tiny) audience of this blog already know this, but just in case, I figured I should say something here: as of today, I am no longer working at Change to Win.
It’s an amicable parting driven by budget requirements. The Great Recession has hit everybody hard, including the labor movement.
So what comes next? I am working on that right now. With a little luck I will have some announcements for you shortly.
In the meantime, here’s my résumé — I’m especially interested in contract/consulting projects, so if you see anything there that appeals, feel free to contact me.
Onward!

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
Good luck! BTW, you should have organized :)
I *was* organized! I was a proud member of the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Which is why I got a generous severance and plenty of advance notice so I could start working on what comes next.
Having a union can't guarantee that you'll keep your job, but it can guarantee that you'll be treated fairly should you lose it!
