I’m not going to put one union on a pedestal for the sake of other unions as there is alot of shitty unions out there.

In Australia it couldn’t be a more true statement.

I know your paid for a strike but not at full pay and people are stupid and live paycheck to paycheck.

In our industry (mining) the government is alot more strict then the union ever is about safety or the government will remove the mining lease and shit the place down (been done to other pits in the area).

We work a rotating roster that the company sent to the union during EA talks and they said yeah that’s fine without consulting the workforce, and it’s been that way since and trying to get the older guys to change to a better roster is a nightmare.

Sick leave and vacation time is government mandated.

You might live in a destopian country with a shitty government but our unions ride the arse of the governments country wide employment mandates and then say they do alot.

You measure your height in metres as in 1.8m or 180cm and for little things it’s mm (millimetres) or cm if it’s less then 1m.

It scales alot easier then the US measurement system of anything other then the simple metric system.

Was it ever profitable? I always thought twitter was always in the red and the only time it made money was when it sued Elon to buy it due to his arrogance and coz it minupilated the stock prices on twitter.
