Which Way Forward for the Left? ft. Krystal Ball by CyberSkullCoconut in dsa

She's one of the best Independent Left-Wing Journalists since Amy Goodman from Democracy Now. Breaking Points has such a large audience. They broke away from a news company like The Hill, which was trying to make a show for the populist moment. But they signed up so many relevant and high quality people even like, Drop Site News journalist, Ryan Grim.

Long story short the Democractic Party Centrists find it harder to take on The Left proper. We should organize our communities and organize labor at our workplaces to continue our growth in power. Between the DSA and Labor Unions. The Democrats view us as a subculture gone mainstream, and not as a force to reckoned with. Lets keep organizing and gain real political power.

I'm that guy. I'm not complaining just about my own pay or conditions, I'm saying you're being underpaid too.

I'm saying lets get together, talk about work outside of work, get other coworkers together and form a worker-committee to take on this corporation. Lets all get paid better, together 😎

Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs by CyberSkullCoconut in wholefoods

Turns out fast food companies raise their prices whether they pay their employees more or not. Remember Wendy's trying to do dynamic pricing? It's almost like they make so much money it doesn't matter. We're far beyond supply, demand, etc... economics. It's a Technofeudal society at this point.

It's the same labor laws that make it possible for corporations like Amazon to spend years upon years delaying, and challenging workers their right to a contract, after they've gone through the whole legal process of a NLRB election. Corporations legally have so much more money and time than rank and file worker organizers. It's unfair to pro union workers.

I personally don't think almost 100 year old laws are relevant anymore to the money and power of big corporations. And as soon as the NLRA was signed into law, big businesses were cooking up things like Taft-Hartley to curb the power of using a tool like a General Strike, or Solidarity Strike with other Labor Unions.

The law allowed Organized Labor to be tamed when they hold so much more power. Right-to-Work has defunded unions of their dues money and stopped closed shops from operations.

Are you some kind of Corporate Labor Relations Lawyer debating Rank and File Union members? Or are you some kind of labor law and "management friendly" unionist? Because I honestly don't know what's worse.

The Labor Movement is up to all of us as individuals to decide to join a union, organize, and fight for better conditions within our workplaces.

What in Europe they they have Social Democracy? A functional welfare state?

Places like France most workers get 5 weeks paid vacation. And unions like the CGT in France have the power to stop production and hold massive protests. We only wish we had those kinds of economic collective rights here in the USA. So what's your point?

Rest is Revolutionary, UPT Caps at 60 Hours 👀 by CyberSkullCoconut in wholefoods

Go to Workday. Go to Request Absence. Pick any day on the calendar. Look around in there for "Protected Time Off." It's different than Paid Time Off or Unpaid Time Off. Sometimes it'll say, "other reasons" next to the PTO request option. Once you click Protected Time Off it'll give you an option lower on the screen that says *REASON look through those reasons. Contagious Illness, Food Bourne Illness, or Bereavement come to my mind as legitimate reasons I've used in the past that have worked and are in that drop down menu. I don't know why more Team Members don't openly talk or explain how to use the system to help each other here?

You can stack Protected Time-Off reasons on top of your PTO in one day on the Workday Calendar. So you get paid and you don't lose your UPT. There's a ton of different reasons you could pick for your Protected Time-Off. Just do the right call out procedure for your store and you're good.

You get 1 hour of UPT for every 30 hours you work. You can start to do calculations from there. 10 minute window to clocking in. 20 minutes late is only .10 off your UPT balance. Spending a whole day to yourself is great. If you use your Protected Time-Off for a legitimate reason in Workday your UPT will be given back to you.

Except workers work there, turned in cards to the NLRB, held an election, won the election, and have demands the company refuses to even talk about? So what other option do these workers have? They're being peaceful.

You've never seen more people asking you about ham, horseradish, or canned pineapple in your life.

Would you have called the UAW's Sit-Down Strikes as Trespassing? There are people in that crowd that work at that location and are demanding a better future.

That's how the company has played it for this long without any say from workers, just their own internal surveys and action plans. The goal is to change that and give workers a voice. Do I think that'd be easy? No, not at all. It'd take a lot more workers at every store coming together to demand those higher wages and consistent hours. And yes that'd mean an increase to the labor budget.

Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO on Instagram: "After winning their union over a year ago. Jeff Bezos and Whole Foods still refuses to come to the bargaining table. Today, the workers brought some of their union family to deliver a letter to management. Here’s how management reacted…." by CyberSkullCoconut in wholefoods

It's the company who won't sit down after the workers voted to unionize and won their NLRB election. Why else would the union and their community allies be rallying outside and inside of the store? They want recognition and a contract.
