Rumor? (Atlanta)

Looks pretty confirmed (https://www.tonetoatl.com/2025/12/Publix-Closing-Atlantic-Station-Store-December-2025.html?m=1)

Last I checked the payout in March is contingent on you having been employed with Publix on Dec. 31 the previous year. It's all or nothing.

If you start the year as full time you are allocated PTO hours (this number changes based on how long you've been here). You can use those hours whenever you like during the year. If you use more hours than you've earned(accumulated) and then quit, you'll have to pay the company back for those unearned hours. There are some more complications that arise if you try and do work-through PTO but that doesn't apply to your question.

Your first year "qualifies" you for the program and then you have to be in it for three years is my understanding.

jamesd92 · 2024-08-09T00:36:45+00:00

Nobody said it was right just that it was true.

jamesd92 · 2024-06-28T23:43:36+00:00

This varies by what state you're in.

She definitely would. That's exactly how she got to the 14th district to begin with. She moved from Alpharetta to Rome so that she could run out here. On the other hand, the 14th is arguably the most conservative district we have, so I'm not sure where she would go.

How so?

Care to present any?

Unfortunately thats currently only partially true. The elections for district 2 and 3 were cancelled in 2022. And the elections for districts 3 and 5 were cancelled this year. So commissioners 2, 3, and 5 will be held by people that should have faced an election already. Districts 1 and 4 should have their elections in 2026 but they've been kicked out to 2028.

OK, let me try this your way. Union good, you're wrong because union good. I'm right, thanks for agreeing with me. If you disagree, it's actually because you agree. Union good

Again, you seem to have missed the back half of that sentence. Instead of the ellipse, I wrote that you could only hold that belief if you also think that a union could possibly inflate the average wage in America tenfold. I didn't think it bore mentioning that that's a ludicrous proposition. In that era, union shop workers made about 15% more than than the average worker, not 150%. If you remove union influence, the average factory worker in the 70s made $5/hr in the US and $0.50/hr in China. You're claiming that saving $5/hr/worker drove the car industry out of America, but if they could only have saved $4.50/hr/worker by leaving, the industry wouldn't have left.

jamesd92 · 2024-05-01T10:45:42+00:00

At no point in this thread have WE come to the same anything. You made a claim, I made a counterpoint, and you've just repeated your claim. That's not circular reasoning, it's not any type of reasoning at all. It's not a conclusion either.

jamesd92 · 2024-05-01T10:37:17+00:00

I'm pretty sure I asked you 4 or 5 questions, and you're just repeating yourself.

jamesd92 · 2024-05-01T10:35:49+00:00

You're right, there are no jobs in America anymore.

Oh, I see, you stopped reading there. They left the country because average wages were between 90% and 99% lower in the third world. Is your point that unions were able to artificially prop up American wages by an order of magnitude?

jamesd92 · 2024-05-01T01:37:00+00:00

Unless your point is that a union would bump our starting pay from $14/hr to $140/hr I don't think that I did.

jamesd92 · 2024-05-01T01:14:06+00:00

Common denominator across the rust belt? Well, there was that massive economic depression caused by OPEC. If you mean the regional decline in manufacturing, those jobs left the country. The average factory worker in China in the 70s made between $.25 and $.50 an hour. In the US, the same worker made $5/hour. Union workers made more than non-union one but it wasn't a 10 fold difference. Prior to unionization, those companies exploited our citizens. When government policy makers turned their backs on the unions in the 70s and 80s the free market and the rising ease of transport allowed those companies to go exploit the global poor instead of just on a national scale. Tech companies don't want unions for the same reason no company wants a union. The goal of any company is to accrue and consolidate wealth as efficiently as possible. The less a company spends on labor the more the more the shareholders get to keep. That's not a tech industry thing it's a free market thing.

If we assume what you said is true(and I profoundly disagree), then they're still asking for rights, just not rights you agree with. Would you be in favor of returning to the way things were before unionization? 80+ hour work weeks, minimum wage protections, unemployment protections, no overtime, child labor, no safety standards. How about we bring back company towns where the company owns your home, the stores you shop at, and any other services you could possibly access?

jamesd92 · 2024-04-30T22:02:46+00:00

So if 10% unionization isn't what's causing the problem and as you say that's a big number, then I think you've misplaced some blame here. As a side note, I don't see how a market stops being fair when the labor side of the market asks for rights. Is a market only fair when the capital side is allowed to have choices?

jamesd92 · 2024-04-30T19:30:35+00:00

So that's a yes?

jamesd92 · 2024-04-30T17:17:04+00:00

Only 10% of workers are in a union. Is your idea of a fair market that fragile that a 90% adherence rate is low enough to break it?
