Attached: 1 image chicago is currently undergoing a bitterly cold spell. as i write this, its -14F, with a wind chill of -33F. one of my workplace campaigns, composed primarily of chicago residents who walk to work, organized a 100% sick out against working. they followed it up with a letter to the boss, demanding no work until wednesday, when the weather is supposed to break. the boss quickly caved, even agreeing to pay wages while closed. #DirectAction gets the goods. #iww #union

    Chicagoan here, walked to work yesterday (-8F) and biked today (-4F)…

    It was both brutal and kind of fun

    That one paragraph is a bit short on information, and I have no idea what this Free Radical Zone is all about. Did the boss “quickly cave”, or did he agree that they shouldn’t be trekking through below zero weather to get to work? I’d also like to know the type of business.
