Doesn’t matter.

I’m not misrepresenting the facts.

God have mercy on us all for having read this drivel.

‘We’ll introduce an opt-out, which says on-paper that you don’t want Riot to own you fucking whole. At this point, we can either choose not to hire you whatsoever, abuse you constantly by starving you for wage increases, forcing you to work a schedule which means you need to hire childcare without appeals, or just…

And here’s the deal: up until our current SCOTUS, it was fucking illegal (not to mention morally incomprehensible) to coerce someone to sign away their rights, which is precisely what this is.

People ask for shit they don’t understand is going to fuck them over all the time.

This is a nonsense argument.

I mean... mostly, yeah. :(

His bail

Bail is a hold, not a charge; you give them $35k and they only confiscate it if you don’t appear in court. It’s not a payment, it’s an assurance that you will return in lieu of jail.

This is predicated on an assertion that’s not really true, though; assuming that a game 4 years in production will now take 8 if unionization efforts succeed and significant advances are made in worker’s rights makes horse sense, but that’s a drastically simplified version of things, and does not take into account the…

I mean, it’s super easy:

Harassment, coupled with forced arbitration clauses which make it more difficult for individual employees to seek justice re: members of upper management who abuse them.

(And also have serious sexual harassment issues, which is why they have to take steps to reduce their employees’ ability to respond legally when harassed, abused, or fired, but yes, that’s Riot.)

Everybody sigh it with me:

I said this earlier:

Yeah, SCOTUS says it’s totally constitutional to do this, so a lot of people are fucked even if states do the states’-rights thing about it.

(immediately before spending several months not firing the piece-of-shit that the lion’s share of the women at the company have accused of abuse and harassment)

The company has to say that or they will face serious legal and public relations-related repercussions.

This is patently false; it’s a line of nonsense fed to people by folks who don’t know or care much about workers’ rights or issues related to labor.
