and if you’re enjoying your “weekend”, remember to thank a union worker
I’m a union worker, currently posting from work, on the tail end of a 72 hour week so I can see 2400 take home for the week. Whoever is getting a weekend because of me, well, you’re welcome I guess.
thank you Friendly Union Worker!! that reminds me, remember to thank a union worker for overtime pay, sick leave, and every other damned thing you take for granted…

Fuck the grindset. I worked 65 hour weeks for five years and will never go back. My new job is hard capped at 40 thanks to a union.
Their wife’s boyfriend thinks it is.
Any work beyond the standard work week in your country should be working for yourself running your own business.
It should be ALL about hour hourly rate. If you are dragging that down by giving away your time then jokes on you.
You can finish before your contract, but yeah, you need to be contracted.
Replace “bastard” with “idiot”. It fits much better.
Overtime pay tho 😛
Overtime is best when organized with a union. Otherwise, it is being taken through scabbing.
The only way I’m going to remodel my house is with enough cash to do it. And working extra hours is my only option to make that happen, even if it means 9-10 hour days in a factory then coming home and working on the house.
& I wouldn’t ever tell my boss this but it’s easy to roll into the shop at 6 AM and drink some coffee and sit around and bullshit a bit before starting the day.
It’s easy to say a union issue while removed from it but union jobs are few and far between in this type of manufacturing. Almost everyone I work with is pretty non-union, or are young kids right out of school. I mean there’s really only a few bigger panels shops in this whole city.
I’d probably agree with you on a more philosophical level, but reality is often different.
The lack of unionization in your industry is by design.
Lemmy in general has a difficult time separating reality from “how it should be”. There’s a lot of preachers here.
We are trying to educate each other about the general issues in our society, and to broaden insight. We are not preaching solutions for individuals, or making demands on anyone.
That totally doesn’t not sound like a hive mind statement.
What else are we not being?Each community has both a stated purpose and an evolved character, and each occurs within a broader context of politics and society. We discuss and contribute openly, beneath such context.
Your objection is not particularly accurate. I was explaining, against your earlier concern, that the intention is quite different from attacking individuals for how they approach their own circumstances, and from imposing over discussion any assumptions about such circumstances.
Even if certain contributions may appear superficially as personal, the deeper motive is most likely political or structural.
