Welcome to Akadap and here, a podcast about going on strike and hopefully winning.

I am your host, Mia Wong.

There's a concept in organizing called a hot shop, which is a shop where everything

is moving really, really quickly, and people are organizing really quickly, and bad stuff

is happening really quickly, and people are reacting really quickly. And today we are going to talk

to maybe the hottest shop I have ever encountered. So, and to discuss the shop, I am talking to Jackie May and Deja Indigo, who are members and

organizers of Real You Electrolysis Workers United, both of you two, welcome to the show.

Hi.

Thank you.

Thank you for having us.

Thank you for having us on such short notice. You said hot shop and yeah, it's been a week. Very hot week, indeed.

not even a week ago yeah it will be I think by the time you're listening to this it will be one

week yeah yeah okay that's fair yeah I want to mention this is being recorded on Monday and May 25th

this situation is moving very quickly.

There is a chance that things have changed by then. We will try to get an update in if something

really major as happens. But let's roll this back to the beginning. And I think the place I want to start

is. So you all are, it's real you, electrolysis workers

United. So you are electrolysis workers. I know this audience specifically of it could happen here
