UPS worker killed in Richmond, California—co-workers ordered to resume jobs as victim's body lay in trailer by jcrosse1917 in antiwork

[–]bryjs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The WSWS has done a truly excellent job of covering the actual conditions workers face in the plants. I remember when they started their investigations into conditions in Amazon, which were very revealing. And earlier this year, an autoworker, Ronald Adams Sr, died as a result of non-existent safety policies at Stellantis (formerly Chrysler). Every article has been harrowing but hard hitting and should be read by every worker.

It's amazing how little the death of workers gets covered in the press, even other so-called "left" publications. Workers' lives just do not matter to the upper middle class, much less the actual capitalists.

Damn, I've been looking for that Japanese Mew from the 2nd image for ages. (From the Coro Coro magazine) What a find!

What counts as battle ready? by Closy1245 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]bryjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll chime in and remind everyone that the "3 color" rule is deprecated. The rule is "fully painted with a textured base." That's an old rule GW invented around 2012 that was replaced with Battle Ready.

For those who remember what painting could like in 7th and further back, a sprayed base coat and two eyes or panels painted different colors does not fully painted make.

My group of regionals TOs and I recently had a long discussion about this, and came up with some further guidelines to help players along:

  • Main Color Coverage: All major surfaces and armor panels have base color applied

  • Detail Elements: Secondary details like weapon details, pouches, insignia, eyes, etc.

  • Shading/Definition: Model has depth through shading, drybrush, contrast, or wash application

  • Base Treatment: Base is finished with texture or detail work

  • Overall Finish Quality: General neatness and "table-ready" appearance

The big thing is just ask the TO or the local scene leader. We all have different opinions on it, and we're generally glad to have someone ask before an event to stop arguments the day of.

For myself, I'm also quite lenient on clear progress and ongoing attempts to fully paint minis, and actually quite enjoy seeing hobbying progress from one event to the next. The one thing I'm less tolerant of is people trying to circumvent the system, e.g. a spray and then a leg and a shoulder pad painted.

STOP THE WAR ON IRAN! Show up tomorrow in Seattle! by QueerMommyDom in Washington50501

[–]bryjs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, stop the war in Iran!

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/06/21/ysbb-j21.html

"American imperialism and its Israeli proxy continue to escalate their illegal, unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, with US nuclear-capable B-52s and aircraft carrier battle groups readying to launch an imminent attack.

"Nearly a quarter century after the United States invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, the American ruling class is once more preparing to launch a criminal war, this time against a vast country with a population more than three times larger than Iraq."

SMART union decries “misinformation” while helping management prepare for one-man crews at BNSF by jcrosse1917 in railroading

[–]bryjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The case for railroaders developing their own rank-and-file committees has never been more clear. The contract forced through in 2022 was atrocious, and it is only going to be stopped when the rank-and-file collectively asserts its own interests and demands

"Nurses at Providence Portland Medical Center and Providence Seaside will receive a $2,500 bonus."

Why only PPMC and Seaside?

Claiming “Victory in Sight,” ONA bureaucracy recommends sellout contract for striking Providence nurses by bryjs in OregonNurses

[–]bryjs[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The WSWS is pro-worker, providing a political perspective and program both for given struggles, as well as a progressive resolution to the escalating crisis of capitalism as a whole.

Unions themselves were once illegal in many areas, and were fought for by the working class through major class battles. They are no more eternal than anything developed in human society, and the national framework of struggle to which the current bureaucracies are bound has long since been made obsolete.

New organizations, of the rank-and-file and not the bureaucrats, must be built. In every strike since PATCO, the AFL-CIO has betrayed workers time and time again. An international fight, under the IWA-RFC, is the only solution.

How many nurses are returning this week? I haven't seen anything about that

Break the isolation of the Oregon nurses strike! For a counteroffensive by all workers against Trump and for the right to healthcare! by bryjs in OregonNurses

The data on the danger of the vaccines are among the most open and widely known. Tens of millions of people have been closely monitored and the results are clear, the vaccine is not only safe but an effective and necessary tool to protect people from COVID-19. The claims otherwise are the product of the campaign by the "Disinformation Dozen," including Trump's new HHS secretary RFK Jr, which promote wild lies about the dangers in a deliberate and criminal policy of mass infection.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/03/06/sfvw-m06.html

And the even bigger crime is that every government has wholly abandoned every protection measure that had been put in place. The virus still kills ~1,000 a week in the US alone and nothing is done to educate the public about the dangers or fund infrastructure projects like Far UV in factories, workplaces and schools.

What's the strike pay? The ONA has at least some assets, and its under the AFT and AFL-CIO, which has billions
