It’s from 2019. And, yes, it totally backfired. Even the Bern got on it https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1126606568454279169?s=20
Not to forget the union puts restrictions on how often the boss can call you out, so you may actually have the time to play those video games.
Would you rather have no money and three video games or no video games and three money?
Why are union subs so high in the US? As a part time worker I pay under a tenner a month, but even as a full time worker, I’d be paying £16.
Because here they have to fight constantly and legal battles are expensive as shit in the US.
I was able to buy a new tv and a ps5 for the family this Christmas, because my union benefits saved me so much out of pocket expenses throughout the year that I could afford it. My union also made sure I got vacation pay and sick pay throughout the year so that my paycheck didn’t take a hit when I needed time off. My union made sure that I got a guaranteed increase in pay this year so I can afford to live next year.
“Explain how!”
“Collective bargaining is a means of using a large labor base to argue for better wages and benefits!”
The grocery/retail worker Union in my city sucks for newbs. Takes a large chunk of your paycheck every two weeks until you gain seniority after 24 months, then you can be a lazy bastard as much as you want.
Unions are great, some suck.
I should’ve been a teamster, so lazy and surly…
two years seems like a really long time when you’re in the middle of it.
But two years really is a long time to have huge chunk of already low paycheck taken out. 🫤 How do people survive those first two years?
The only thing a little ironic is that delta FAs are the best-paid of any US airline.
Their deal is literally better than all the union deals - and the unions were scrambling to match.
