Thanks so much for bringing this to the fore, Kerri.
Very important to point out... and very much appreciated!
Your message brings up a question that I'd love to pursue–how do we
define practical labor? The name of our organization is very much a
protest (at least, from my perspective) against a forced equation
between practicality and cash money.
But how do we define practicality? Why do we embrace the impractical?
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts...
Impractically yours,

Hello Impractical Laborers-
I generally try to avoid getting on a soapbox online, but I feel as
though the context of this group makes important to point out that
both UPS and USPS have unionized workers. Fedex does not. While it
may be cheaper to send your items Fedex, when you pay more at UPS,
you are supporting practical laborers. As organization that styles
itself after labor unions, perhaps we should do our best to make
ethical choices when we have the option.
Best,
