#Speakingout & the case for a pro wrestling union.
PART 1 : THE CASE FOR A UNION - WHY NEED ONE? The conversation surrounding a pro wrestling union first gained prominence in the 80s, specifically in 1984 when Jesse Ventura tried attempting to organize the wrestlers working for the then WWF. As the story goes his attempts were squashed by a politicking Hulk Hogan who informed Vince McMahon of Ventura’s plans before any solid progress could have been made. This was in 1984 and in the 3.5 decades since then any conversation surrounding a union still lives and dies by the assumption that it would not work due to backstage politics. However, for more reasons than one could list in an article introduction, wrestling is drastically different in 2020 both structurally and culturally than it was during the era of Hulkamania. Wrestlers appear more willing to work with each other, you can see this by examining the change in pro wrestling style, the faster pace the multiple kick outs, wrestlers are more willing to let all participants look good and get everyone over rather than just one person. Pro Wrestling commentators such as Brian Last often deride this as a negative, claiming that it hurts the quality of the in ring product, and opinions vary on if he’s right or wrong when he says that. Regardless I see this as an indictment of a wrestling culture with less overall political backstabbing. There are other examples of course such as how wrestlers expose and talk about each other in a non-kayfabe manner online & the increased awareness of what happens behind the scenes that fans have gained due to the rise of the internet wrestling community.

Being young, successful, and oppressed by the notion of blackness
If you are a person offended by the notion of blackness, one way to please a person oppressed by the notion of whiteness is to make them money. Leaving home at seventeen, I realised the values of hard work which my parents instilled in me and began to showcase this in my attitude towards life. If you think about it, it makes sense. In an age where cultural appropriation is rife in the media, it has become easier to spot the two things companies hold closest in their hearts. Money is one of them – but, of course, this goes without saying. The other is how the public views them. So, picture this: you have an employee who not only works hard (the result of which is ultimately you bringing home more bacon), but is also black? Killing two birds with one stone has never been easier. However, upon closer inspection, many companies have realised that improving the latter increases the former, and companies who are aware of this aren't shy to use this layer of advertising unashamedly.

Constitution in the Workplace
We all have different jobs of all trades. Everything from the bit fat cat CEO's on Wall Street to the guys who twirl signs for a local mattress store. They are all equally important, and why do you ask? Because they provide us with a paycheck. We break our backs, don't spend time with our families, dedicate a third of our lives just for our jobs. So shouldn't we get the respect we deserve? Sadly it usually doesn't turn out that way. We want that paycheck so bad that we would follow their rules, put our values aside, and loose our rights.

Healthcare Workers Asked to Work Without Pay:
The first time Dylan and I spoke in person, we were face to face but separated by thousands of miles. We had met two days prior to this when I received my first communication from her. Three weeks ago, after an essay I wrote was published detailing the truth of America’s broken healthcare system, I began receiving hundreds of emails from other healthcare workers all across the country recounting horror stories of maltreatment at the hands of the healthcare system. Dylan’s email was among them.
