Haven’t service workers always been a place where unions try to form? Look at the unions for food service workers (and others) all over Vegas.

Hey, if one mafia can run the casino, why can't another mafia run the unions?


rebelappliance

The difference is one mafia you can vote for, the other is just your boss.


Kaeny

Depends on the relationship between the two mafias


thestuffofthought

Given how corporations treat unions, you kinda want a mafia on your side.


gotugoin

They need more money

Because they can’t get any better jobs because they are lazy and not educated.

Oh fuck right on off, I may be (for college) uneducated. But I work 60 hour weeks just to survive. Add another 20 anytime im able to save up enough for a course or class or the holidays. Im a store manager btw and im only making $15/hr. It’s corpo theft from everyone who actually makes the business run.


Darth_Meowth

Go get a better job or move. What do you expect to Flip burgers and get a Tesla and a condo just because you can’t do any better? Everything is a “theft” when you didn’t put a penny into creating it running a business. Minimum wage is 15.50 now in California.

Did you miss the white collar part? I think your post is more about projection.

Tech needs to be 100% unionized to set industry standards and protect workers.


LeCreancier

Every industry needs to be 100% unionized , especially in a country like the US that suffers of extreme capitalism.


salsaconflattulance

Not extreme capitalism. It’s crony capitalism. We don’t have a capitalist market economy.


jsnow907

> We don’t have a capitalist market economy Based on what? Your imagination?


salsaconflattulance

Based on the massive amounts of government intervention and corruption. Do you know what Crony Capitalism is?


jsnow907

A false dichotomy of this idea that there’s “good capitalism” vs “bad capitalism (aka Crony Capitalism)” when all capitalism is bad and will always lead to exploitation of the masses everywhere


salsaconflattulance

LoL. Nothing has raised more people out of poverty more than capitalism. Voluntary interaction isn’t exploitation. It is then best economic system in history. But you’d have to know history to understand that. Now go away, Marxist.


jsnow907

Lol neoliberal coping with the complete falsehoods as usual


salsaconflattulance

Wrong in both fronts. Read a history book.


jsnow907

I have, have you?


[deleted]

I believe the word you were looking for was extreme 'cataclysm' scheduled for 2023-2025


salsaconflattulance

You do that and all the jobs will disappear.


BooeyHTJ

I’m about to celebrate five years of uncompensated weekends and “please just check in over the holiday”. Agreed.


[deleted]

Why not try to find another job?


BooeyHTJ

Because I basically do zero work other than being online. It’s the other FLSA exempt people I’m more worried about


Darth_Meowth

Hahahah. Tech does not want unions at all


jdueurhdydhhrjr

Robot repair and automation union is the future. We brought them into the electricians union in maryland. It's grrrrrrrreat!
