Is he gonna drop the ball on this like he did on universal healthcare?
In one hand, voluntary unemployment funded by taxes seems unfair.
On the other, fuck the man. The wealth imbalance needs to be fixed and this is a step in the correct direction.
Unfair how? It’s paid by employers, so kinda makes sense to me, i.e. employer caused the loss of livelihood, so they pay for the benefit to the recently unemployed.
So is firing people, for a boss. The thing is the vote is voluntary, the results are not. “voluntary” is not a good way to describe things like strikes because eventually there are disputes, they are “inevitable”.
I’m not in or from the US, but I’m guessing unemployment doesn’t pay enough to live the good life? Should just be enough to keep you alive?
If you want to leave you shouldn’t worry about starving in the pursuit of better employment imo
Unemployment probably won’t even cover your bills, but will let you hemorrhage money slower
SB-799 give Strikers the right to receive unemployment
What the hell is that website? It screams very anti-choice.
This user always posts from that website. It seems primarily aimed at criticizing austerity measures but it’s super bizarre. No mention of who is actually putting this research together.
Like I agree that austerity measures suck and that if you want a family you should be able to afford one, but phrasing it as “stop population decline” is just… weird? Like the examples aren’t bad exactly but the entire presentation and motivations behind the website sets off some serious red flags.
Saw it on Reddit and Google News, and ended up finding my self posting from it over and over
Totally fine not trying to say you’re up to something nefarious haha. Just saying that a source I only see from one user that itself is pretty opaque about sourcing and intent makes me approach it cautiously.
Wow that’s a stupid bill. The government shouldnt be paying people who refuse to work.
Fighting for dignity, working conditions, and a better wage isn’t “refusing to work.”
Bettering your lot in life used to be the American standard. Now it’s “Hold down this guy with me, I dont want to strive to make my life better. Why should he get to?”
They’re not refusing to work.
They’re striking for a better contract with their employers.
And if you went to school instead of working in a factory as a child, or ever enjoyed overtime pay, you should be supporting them instead of trying to shit on them.
