What kind of help do they need?

they're trying to make organize their workplace (pretty much) on their own.

but, if there are any unions in texas that represent salons, or service workers in general, that they could get in touch with, please let me know

if i understand how salons generally work, a unique challenge they may have is that each stylist is a independent contractor/self employed worker that just rents a chair at a salon. kind of resembles the building trades like electricians where there is the ibew that represents electricians, but each electrician is hired out as a union contractor at a consistent wage depending on their skill set and experience. your friend may want to reach out to the local building trade unions and ask for advice.

the building trades also have to compete with non-unionized contract labor, possibly in a similar fashion to what organized stylists would have to deal with

from what i gather, this doesn't apply to their and their coworkers' situation. i'm probably being paranoid, but i'm not gonna say any more than that for op sec reasons. anyways, if anyone knows labor organizers in texas or knows of already-existing unions that might be able to help them out, please let me know in this thread. i can either buy private messages to get in contact with people, or you can contact me on twitter at @Tarp_Ghost
