Description: The Birdwatching Collective, a “close group of friends and comrades who like making art and complaining about work”, reflect on the idea of work and what it means to them through this compilation zine. Authors and artists interact with the concept of work through prose, illustration, crossword puzzles, mini comix, collages, and more. Contributors address the failures of capitalism and the importance of unions through personal stories of their work lives. The center fold is a mini-zine that guides readers through how to start a union at their workplace.
Notes: Cover title.
