Civil Society/Unions/Joining

 Joining a union is a simple matter, if one exists for your trade. And failing that, the Industrial Workers of the World have a union for just about every occupation conceivable. If you pay your dues, you're in. It's just that easy. What happens from there, however, is entirely up to each individual worker. Is it enough for you to pay your dues, enjoy your health insurance and job protections? Or are you wanting more, determined to eek out more pay, better concessions, and safer working conditions?

 Maybe you're a foreman looking out for those under you, or maybe you're a negotiator that wears a suit and tie to represent the interests of people who work in hard hats and work shirts. Maybe you're an attorney representing the union, or a union boss looking to turn your Local into the platform for a political career. Unions represent their members, and they find members from every walk of life. The sky's the limit, really.

 There are no particular requirements for Union status beyond working in a given field and, presumably, having appropriate stats to represent that.
