I completely support your right to fight for fair wages and to hang on to the benefits of a job you’ve been doing for years. I’m a union supporter and I hope you come out on top after all of this…
I just wanted you all to know how much I miss you. People say snail mail is dead, no one uses it anymore. But, I use it! I surround myself in beautiful stationary and I write letters and cards to send to friends and family all over the country. Email and other electronic forms of communication will never hold a candle to a pen and paper, a stamp, and the joy that comes from receiving something in the mail other than bills.
So, just remember that there are people out here who think your job is important and support you. —Sending Some Love
