I'd like your opinion about this [View all]

I have a friend who is a paid organizer. (Paid well, not $10/hour.)

He is organizing retail workers at Starbucks and the like. He has put a call out for activists to join him. He is paid by some foundation.

Of course labor organizers get paid, and well paid.

But I'm somewhat uneasy at the idea that someone is being paid to organize.

Does anyone have thoughts?
