Man I understand, you and every worker deserves better

About time

s*** is real out here, in the field out here

Syndicalism time

Thank you so much

good job

glad the market is increasingly losing its favored place and that these strikes seem to be actually gaining increased leverage due to the current economy, but i have to admit im still a bit cautious here about what the future of labor strikes are going to be. CNN is running articles saying these labor strikes are "anti-vax solidarity". I think most people aren't stupid enough to fall for that, but what I'd really be weary of here is if you just so suddenly begin to see other causes besides labor itself flaring up again. Like if you suddenly begin seeing a bunch of talk hyper-fixated on things like "BIPOC or LGBTQ workers" instead of actual labor, all i have to say is

remember, there was literally a leaked document from amazon (i believe i even posted it here) saying stroking social tensions by supporting movements like BLM instead of implementing changes was good for their business since it kept workers in place...

S*** is a war out there rn between companies and workers

ooh boy i dont know if you saw it but there was literally a tweet thread the other day going on about how the term scab is anti-black and we should not be demonizing scab workers lol

this is literally exactly what i'm talking about, i really hope people do not fall for this when leverage is entirely on their side

General strike when?

apparently John Deere's solution to the strikes is to migrate their white-collar workers from offices into blue-collar positions temporarily

Limbs will be lost lmao

Who was the user that said that low skilled workers should get low skilled wages lets see how “low skilled” this is

Thanks to sound fiscal policy, and the pandemic, the labour market is tilted in favour of workers in a way it has not been for a long time

the pandemic? absolutely. sound fiscal policy? if anything its the opposite, its the failure of fiscal policy which has lead to worker leverage. unless you consider policy which failed its original intention but ended up positive due to its failure to be sound? what specific policies do you think are at play here workers are leveraging?

Yeah that's what I mean sorry

I can't expand because I have an early lecture tomorrow (midnight here in the uk) but I'm considering a post on the current state of the macroeconomy soon

oh okay, that makes way more sense, i was confused as hell for a second there

That s*** that I like to see

"the labor movement is starting again in the US? you know what to do, intern"
