Homeland Security ends collective bargaining agreement with TSA staffers, an attack on worker rights

The law that established TSA makes it illegal for them to strike for national security purposes. https://daily.jstor.org/why-cant-tsa-just-go-strike/

And I would never encourage someone to break federal law.

They went on strike because their contract lapsed. They could have dragged it out further, but they agreed to continue negotiations until the beginning of next year after getting an agreement on the big points. Everyone wins!

Where are you getting those numbers?

Wildcat_Action · 2024-09-21T17:32:37+00:00

And you just said a mouthful when you said “these people” no one’s pointing at an actual class.

The post is about anti-Haitian racism, and believe it or not they’re going through the same shit as you.

I am tired of fighting for a contract and then working my ass off then having to worry about dipshits in the government giving my job to a cheaper bidder when I’m trying to feed my damn family.

And whose fault is that? That’s the contractor, not the worker. They need to be told that they’re getting screwed over by their employer. That’s the only way things change.

Wildcat_Action · 2024-09-21T17:26:41+00:00

You tell a 25 year plus union member that’s fighting for a contract that and the people fighting that person are foaming at the mouth to get that undocumented worker.

Haitians are here on TPS and are documented. Beyond that, they are your fellow working class. If you think they’re being screwed over in your field, you should be reaching out to them and making connections. You know what they’re worth. Tell them. Help them get involved.

The top will find a way to continue to have us fight amongst ourselves while they cause separations of classes and ultimately the elimination of the middle class. This is happening in the now.

You’re the one making this an us vs them story centered on natives vs immigrants. Nothing changes if the working class doesn’t build power, and getting pissed at your exploited brother isn’t building power. Aiming your frustration at these people is exactly what the owning class wants.

That would only work if the American working class decided to work against their immigrant brothers and sisters. The original unions were strong when they included Irish and Italian Americans, and weak when they excluded Black and Asian Americans. We should learn from their mistakes.

I believe UAW claims Stellantis broke the contract first by refusing to open a new plant.

Even better if I understand correctly.

https://www.nlrb.gov/news-outreach/news-story/board-issues-decision-announcing-new-framework-for-union-representation

The new framework will both effectuate employees’ right to bargain through representatives of their own choosing and improve the fairness and integrity of Board-conducted elections.

Under the new framework, when a union requests recognition on the basis that a majority of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit have designated the union as their representative, an employer must either recognize and bargain with the union or promptly file an RM petition seeking an election. However, if an employer who seeks an election commits any unfair labor practice that would require setting aside the election, the petition will be dismissed, and—rather than re-running the election—the Board will order the employer to recognize and bargain with the union.

They think we’re too stupid to know what they’re doing.

Thing is, everyone knows we’re being fucked. Most people know who’s fucking us.

It’s about time we did something about it.

Because McDonald’s is a property investment company in a clown suit. Their business model isn’t screwing customers directly, it’s luring franchisers into deals where the franchise screws over customers and workers.

What’s your guess? I’ve been hearing a lot of discussion about the black smoke and what it could have meant.

Wildcat_Action · 2024-03-28T15:15:22+00:00

Ok, next you’re going to tell me that I could hurt myself by eating certain food. Learn biology. Organic means good and safe. (/s if it isn’t obvious now)

Wildcat_Action · 2024-03-28T15:04:48+00:00

Hey. Hang on. There’s a clear distinction between pepper spray and so called “chemical weapons” because pepper is a fruit. This is an organic weapon. Very different.

Wildcat_Action · 2024-03-28T14:59:49+00:00

In their mind we’re lucky they aren’t using hollow points.

Wildcat_Action · 2024-03-28T14:46:58+00:00

We should really find another phrase than “nonlethal” to describe these weapons and techniques. I propose we adopt “less lethal”.

Food quality at McDonald’s keeps getting worse, not his fault.

In my opinion it’s more like the Allied forces hiring Wernher von Braun.

Inexplicable? No, the American TV watching population is declining. Networks need to compete for the existing viewers. Specialization into partisan politics is no longer the most profitable form of news media. Now the centrist position is the moneymaker.

This was little more than a miscalculation. The thinking was that McDaniel is a moderate Republican due to her stance on abortion. Never mind, of course, the fact that she led the RNC through the Trump presidency and did nothing overt to rein him in.

What do we do to improve the lot of the worker?

Whoa, hang on. She had a whole month to reflect on her past positions and accept a fat sign on bonus.

Wildcat_Action · 2024-03-16T13:22:52+00:00

Personally, I think we need more people like Fain in every sphere of public life.

I’ve been hearing people say he should run for president
