It is soo good. A tech company i just got offer from. In their onboarding app, they let me join the union on the first day.

This is what you see in the company with strong union.

They take phishing test so seriously that if you fail not only do you get fired, but you are also part of a union

No, you’re not supposed to go beyond 80%. Fire that fool immediately. /s

Fuck apple and it’s “AI powered” battery charge protector for my laptop that says it’ll stop it at 80% (or 85%?) based on your usage habits, but always charges it to full because fuck your battery. I’d bet money they don’t give you the option to permanently set it and not be AI driven because they know the battery dies sooner because their AI battery manager sucks.

I may be triggered.

No, they give you the option to cap the charge percentage at 80% but you’ll need to buy iPhone 15 to get it 🙃

Some phones will allow you to select battery protection - 100% at 80%, 0% at 20%

This is most often an effect of collective bargaining between unions and the company, not their gesture of goodwill. Teleperformance, a massive global shared service was recently forced to do that by Uni Global Union.

So weird that a union is such a weird taboo and looked down upon by employers in the US.

No it’s not. Greed rules and corporate greed is king.

You don’t get it. I mean it is very weird from an outside perspective that this is normalized.

I’d say we have a general problem in the US with certain people and legal entities constantly acting in bad faith but still having their words taken seriously.

I’m sure it’s a human issue across the globe, but we seem to be especially bad about it when it comes to rich people and corporations.

When my job unionized (it was through an amalgamation), my union immediately fired a grievance against the managers that got amalgamated who did some shady shit, and I got a 2500 dollar payout, and they got told to quit/retire or be fired, so they did. Everyone needs a union.

Canada just had legislation go into aff3ect every 5 hours needs a 30 min break. A pro worker move!

But my shift is 10 hours and the company pettily tacked on the extra half hour unpaid. They get no extra work from me, just forced to sit at the end.

Unions fighting it, speaking even to the Labour Minister. I like unions.

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.
