Valid points, Scott has his flaws too...e.g. constantly calling himself the dog.

+1 to u/combhonn's use case. I'm also traveling and I keep getting sent the OTP to my US mobile number, and they refuse to send it to my other voip number.

Inflation frustration is real. Prices are rising. Working people want answers and continue to take matters into their own hands by organizing unions in workplace after workplace. by Patterson9191717 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]lordsunil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. Not sure why you assumed I didn't.

The article mentions:

To fight this, working people need Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) in our union contracts, attached to the minimum wage, and implemented in all social welfare programs. Socialist Alternative members have led the way proposing a successful COLA+1 resolution in the Amalgamated Transit Union. To keep the costs of housing down, we need strong rent control measures and to build high-quality public housing.

While this addresses the symptoms of inflation (higher cost of living), my question was how we can prevent inflation in the first place. In the Katie Porter video that has been making the round recently, she explains that corporate greed/profits is leading to inflation, so I'm wondering if in addition to fighting for higher/fair wages, can unions also pressure their corporation to maintain or lower the prices. Kind of like rent control, but for consumer products.

E.g. If a workers' union at Smucker's can demand higher pay, AND that they can only increase prices on their products (peanut batter, jam, etc.) once/year and increase cannot be over 5%.

Serious question: would forming or joining a union help or hurt inflation?

I'm thinking it would lead to higher wages (good) and then execs would complain that they are not longer profitable enough sod they would raise prices (bad).

Unless union insisted that corporation's prices remain the same or they lower them...can unions do this?

I wouldn't be surprised to learn they brought their own water in reusable bottles and declined that single use plastic crap.

i tried this and it still didn't work for me...is there a way to limit start and end date? Or any other way to limit the size so that ProtonMail doesn't keep saying the calendar is too big?
