I'm glad you understand, thanks for the reply.

I'm also glad you reached the point I wanted to make, that people like me become extremely cynical when unions are brought up as a solution because even with digital access we're still seen as second class members. they're not gonna invest as many resources in the digital meetings because there's no incentive to

I think it'd be hard not to get cynical when in such a situation. It's why it's so important to amplify the voices of marginalised people and bring them into the fold, they have needs as a society we need to see to them. It really shouldn't be that hard. Unfortunately a lot of people don't realise that being healthy and able-bodied is a temporary state, and at some point or other we're all going to need some form of support.

We all benefit from ensuring it's there.
