It is illegal, but the US is completely toothless with enforcement on anyone with any amount of wealth.

Thankfully, Biden recently gave the IRS some teeth to go after millionaires who rely on tax dodging. So there’s hope as long as a criminal isn’t put in charge to de-teeth the government again.

And hopefully the pendulum doesn’t swing too far next year for all that effort to be rolled back

The penalties are also so minimal that it’s cheaper to re-offend

Holy shit is this badly done. Starting with no answers whatsoever, why unions are regarded as bad except for “but our customers and partners!” and then a huge load of infodump about potential signs…

Explaining why they think unions are bad requires them explaining what a union even is.

Not partners, but shareholders. It doesn’t beat around the bush. It outright says “unions are not in the best interest for shareholders”

I was thinking about this the other day and while I’m sure they would never admit it, I think the reason Amazon is so anti-union is to prepare for automation.

Whenever they can reliably replace all the low-income employees with robots, they will do so. If employees had a union they might be able to stop or slow the replacement of people with robots.

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.
