How do you think those labor laws got on the books in the first place? Because labor activists advocated for them on behalf of workers. Many if not most of these activists were also pro-union/belonged to unions. If there's no pressure to keep those laws up to date, their protections will be repealed or weakened as time goes by. Unions are an important part of keeping up such pressure.
...and you're basing this on...what, exactly?
Yes how awful people want to be treated fairly.
Are you saying they the unionized employees don't have a legitimate gripe here because they will be better in the long term?
The unions destroyed the Boeing plant in Tennessee.IAM 751 Machinists at Boeing pay $93 per month. But they also make up to $50 per hour.![FRONTsept22.jpg]()
Literally just read up on unions and the concept of collective bargaining. It also helps if you can acknowledge the inconsistencies of capitalism. It’s not as black and white as unions are good or bad, but they do provide collective bargaining power to the working class. Not all unions are created equal, and there are unions I wouldn’t want to be a member of, but the reality of the situation isn’t as polarized as some corny PragerU pro-corporate capitalist narrative.
Not all unions are great and all corporations are bad, idk what to tell you.IAM 751 Machinists at Boeing pay $93 per month. But they also make up to $50 per hour.![FRONTsept22.jpg]()
Fair, adjective
Seems to me the snark is not needed as being in a union involves negotiating everything. Not discussing Apple employees discussing the union benefits and yeah, in this case Apple should be defended.
You’ve obviously never been into an apple store. And “specialized”, whatever that even means, has nothing to do with workers rights, that’s something you’ve decided you value.
That is a drop in the bucket.It would be nice if the high-level Apple Executives can take a pay cut into their yearly salaries and frequent bonuses.
P.S. Jony Ive could have taken a pay cut from his salary but he didn't, SMH
Wow. Gross comment. Thank god you’re not in charge of anything. Another option other than breaking up with your employer is collective bargaining. Because what would actually be fair is if you get paid a reasonable portion of the money you make for a company. No one needs to struggle paying bills working for a trillion dollar company.
That would be a commission-based role, which is not what working in an Apple Store entails. Which is what the employee applied for, interviewed, and accepted. You're not entitled to the capital of a company past what you agree upon in your salary expectations, regardless of it being tens of thousands or trillions. No one needs to struggle paying bills working anywhere, but your employer isn't responsible for this.
As a life long Marylander, you don't have a clue what you're talking about 😂. If you don't like the state, fine, but generalizing the whole state based on an area full of college kids? This state, like any others, has its share of lazy and stupid....but the majority are normal hardworking people.Exactly, weird ones. Most of the state is. Not a fan of Maryland
Or they can unionize and make it better just like they did
Because most people think as long as someone is worse off than you that makes you better off. For some reason Americans are brainwashed to feel that way
