Where should the line be drawn between what is just/fair vs. what is unjust/unfair?
With regard to labor rights, I strongly believe that the line is drawn between the labor of the individual and the labor of others.
I should be compensated fairly for my own labor. I should have the rights to the fruits of my labor. If I create a work, I own the product of my labor.
What I choose to do with that product is completely up to me and me alone.
I can choose to keep it for myself, to trade it, share it, or even destroy it. That is my right as the creator of that work. That is just and fair.
On the other side of that line, however, is the rights to the labor of others. This is the employer-employee relationship. It is inherently unfair and unjust.
One person or group should never have the rights to the product of another person or group's labor!
If you sign over the fruits of your labor to another person or group, you are making yourself a slave. It only benefits the oppressors.

Strange to see my alma mater written up in teen vogue for what looks like a violation of their foundational identity as an institution that supports scholars. #laborRights #academicFreedom https://www.teenvogue.com/story/new-school-strike-occupy-dec?fbclid=IwAR0C_UL_w0KXVVvXoxY56K1bG01K0HdcgBFt8UZx30gN4LiVZcwvFWrRii8
UC Provost Michael T. Brown just sent a letter of intimidation to all UC faculty that seemed intended to undermine our support for the strike. 🧨 Backfire! I feel newly enraged and all-the-more supportive of our academic student employees, who are so much more vulnerable than we faculty are. UC TAs, postdocs, and others deserve #livingwages, #affordablehousing, and #workplaceequity.
