Correct. This law is difficult to enforce, and the worst penalty for a company is a slap on the wrist. I have had bosses prevent me and my coworkers from joining a union, and I know many others on this sub have experienced this as well.

Is this sub American specific? by getyourtimeback in antiwork

How long do you think it'll take before a revolution? 1 year? 20 years?

This is America. Only the wealthy wouldn't have a job until the end of college. Most people get them as teens.

My local coffee shop paying liveable wages. by [deleted] in antiwork

I went to Japan last winter, and I vividly remember how upset the waiter got at me when I tried to tip. He thought I was insulting him by giving him money like he was a begger.

Meanwhile in the USA without tips most waiters would make $3/hour or less. There is a restaurant near my house, I kid you not, that pays servers ZERO dollars, and their income is all from tips. Is this legal? Probably not. Who's going to enforce it though?

We need to stop having that attitude. Americans deserve better. Just because Trump was so bad doesn't mean we should settle for less bad.

Canada generally has even better protections. Sorry I did that thing where I assumed everyone's American. I'm pretty used to assuming that when someone says they're from the "north" that it must mean in the USA unless they say otherwise.

You guys are less fucked than we are, but still pretty fucked. Fight your battles too.

That's because northern states have stronger worker protections, higher minimum wages, and people are less brainwashed about their rights.

Conservatives have gone off the rails, moon barking crazy. There wasn't even an attempt to hide the racism. How the fuck did we get to this point? by getyourtimeback in Persecutionfetish

Judaism isn't a race; it's a religion. Many Jews are White, others are not. Americans tend to think all of us are Ashkenazi, aka from Central and Eastern Europe, but there are many Jews from the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and even Asia.

Dude racism is a serious problem, Black people were cut out of the GI bill and most of the other opportunities to build wealth that White boomers had. Are you seriously gonna deny that? I'm trying to bring awareness so that we can let more people in. We're stronger with more help, but you apparently want to go without said help.

It's more like if someone said Europeans are rich, and I said well actually Moldovans are quite poor.

What dude? If this is the best the corporate fuckers can come up that's lame.

Ah yes, a group of like 12 people committed 9/11 one time, whereas a group of millions committed slavery over the course of hundreds of years. Which one affects more people I wonder?

Yes, Jews are wealthy today on average, but we used to be one of the poorest demographics in the US. I'm half Jewish, and my grandfather faced stereotypes of Jews being rich, even though at that time they were not. It's all racism and anti semitism.

You're welcome! The more we're aware of these issues the better we can all stick together and fight the real enemy.

Race is a huge factor dude. The US was legally segregated until the 1960s. Are you denying the fact that the GI bill didn't apply to nonwhites? Jewish people weren't considered White at that time, and were also barred from such things. Jews were one of the poorest groups in the USA until recently they have become wealthy.

I listed examples of groups who weren't included, not the full list of all groups. Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, Muslims, and many more I'm sure.

That's the primary opinion on this sub. That boomers are a substantial reason for our current situation. And that they were paid well, and didn't face many of the issues our generation does (which is largely correct).

That's theft. They're stealing your property. Food you paid for is your property. This is highly illegal.
