I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were a licensed tree surgeon. So, how many years experience do you have?

Is this supposed to distract from the fact the company broke the law to try to break a strike and likely harmed the long term health of the cut trees? Is there some reason you don’t want us to stay on that topic?

What law?

Those trees will leaf back out and be completely fine.

My point is y’all don’t know shit about trees and have knee jerk reactions which make the movement look bad.

You all are “derkaderka dey cut da trees!” like it’s the end of the world, and it’s literally fucking nothing. And y’all over here, which thankfully no one knows about, playing arm chair tree surgeon/botanist/biologist claiming the sky is falling.

Calm the fuck down.

The trees are city property. You can’t just cut city trees because you feel like it. The city has already fined them and the penalties will only increase if the trees don’t recover.

If you know something the Forestry Service doesn’t you should get in touch with them. They outline pretty clearly that what is pictured is bad for the trees, and it’s a bad time of year to do it because it makes the trees more susceptible to disease. This isn’t an opinion, it’s in the government handbook.

Go have whatever argument you’re dying to have with someone else.

Cap. Anyone who does any landscaping would know this. In 100+ degree weather, you don’t trim trees back if they are healthy. This is a clown take.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
