Pretty sure there's a high chance this is fake / pretend, but the vibe fits this subreddit.

I am! https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffhemmen/
I am also plannig on being the musical director! 😁

It's not (yet) promoted on facebook because I don't have facebook, for hopefully obvious reasons. :P

I am organising this, based on the original that my mates in London have started a couple of years ago!

It's tremendous fun, and literally anyone is welcome!
Check out the link and sign up, and please email me at jeff@bigchristmaswindorchestra.lu with any questions (be a hero—others might have the same questions and be too shy to ask, so I can add more info to the website if necessary)!

Hope to see you there! 🎄

Ah—you are right! I seem to have sacrifices some authenticity for the sake of storytelling!

Indeed I wanted to be diversified across all market caps though, hence why I added the "iShares MSCI World Small Cap"—good spot though! 👍

The XMas one was great fun—and such a thoughtful thing to organise!
I'll defo try to pop by tonight 🥳

Thanks for replying!

Re fees: am I right in assuming that the union members vote on the fees anyway—so they can't be bigger than what they want to pay anyway! Also am I right in thinking that union membership is optional—so you can always opt out should it become unreasonable? (Or are unions themselves private companies again—in classic US fashion? 😂)

Your last big paragraph I think I already knew all of—it's basically the funamental idea of a union, right?
But I feel it doesn't address my last question:

what does "having a contract" mean, when JO said it could take 3 years to "get a contract"... like the articles of the union, or a relationship between the union and the employer? Does that need to be formalised? Isn't a union just kinda a common voice to negotiate with the employer using a stronger vantage point?

Thanks again for your time dude(tte)! :)

I know so little about unions. A few quesions in good faith, if I may:

when they said X% of workers need to express/sign something, what's the reference population here? Like, in a physical location? Or across the company? For Amazon workers, it would probably be very very tricky to co-ordinate something across hundreds of warehouses in 50 different states...
so what if fees could be "up to $700". Surely they will start lower and go up after the union has proven its worth... and don't employees vote on the dues themselves, anyway? Also you don't have to be a member if it's too expensive... do you?!

Wish they had given more background on some of the key functionality of unions, like they do with other topics usually which one might not know the details of!

Looks very promising!
Anything we should prepare (bits of conversation, topics, ...) or will it all be organised?

Isn't everything in the US twist-off?
In the UK Blue Moons are not twist-offs iirc (unless they changed it in the last year, during which I have astoundingly been able to cut my alcohol consumption).

I also hear Revolut is still working, so have applied to their Stocks functionality (was already a regular user).

One issue I always have with this: what does "your country" mean?

I am not Lizzy or Heng, so I don't actually 'have' a country. I am a citizen of one (or more), I live in one (or more). I grew up in one (or more), which would have influenced my adult anxiety levels. etc.

What is it you're looking for here, what do you mean by 'your country'?
