Don't Split the Party! We are honored to be joined by two members of the Paizo Workers Union: Jason Tondro and Andrew White. They tell us about the unionization drive at Paizo and how everyone can help support Paizo writers, editors, artists, designers, engineers, warehouse workers, and freelancers.  To help, you should: Email the Paizo executives (Jeff Alvarez, Erik Mona, and Lisa Stevens) politely requesting that they voluntarily accept the union.  Post your support for the union on the Paizo forums.  Share your support under the #UnionizePaizo and follow @PaizoWorkers for updates. Visit the union website for logos, art, a FAQ, and daily updates. Contact your players, game masters, and friends to do the same ASAP!  DO NOT boycott Paizo at this time.  Read the "How do I Help" for more information.  Be ready to keep the pressure up in case this goes to a NLRB election.  Solidarity forever!
