Inactivism

With my apologies to Pastor Niemöller I offer you the reasons you should join and be active in your education union:

First they cut the cleaning staff, but I wasn’t on the cleaning staff and things didn’t look too bad, so I said nothing.

Then they reduced the number of catering staff, but I started carrying my own lunch and said nothing.

Then they did away with lab assistants, but that didn’t affect my subject so I said nothing.

Then they increased the responsibilities but not the pay of teaching assistants, but I wasn’t a teaching assistant so said nothing.

Then they came for my pay and conditions and there was no one left to speak out for me.
