I think organized labor is a more likely and realistic solution than strong government antitrust action against a company like Amazon. That I don’t believe we’ll see unless our political landscape changes very, very radically. I guess we’ll see.

I’m interested in the ability of unions to reverse the trend of inequality and the failure of unions in general to take the steps necessary to do that can be taken as a criticism, from me. The nuts and bolts of specific internal union politics tend to be extremely boring. If they are not organizing, they are failing.

I don’t believe unions have passed a tipping point. Collective bargaining is fundamentally a good idea so regardless of the fluctuations of history it will always be primed for a comeback, until our entire economy and system of laws is radically changed to incorporate the good things that unions can do.

The Post Office is hamstrung by Republican saboteurs in Congress.

Heh. Suede pickle.

I work in lower management at a big retailer (the lowest management, actually), and I can confirm that the anti union propaganda is real, and intense. Our HR manager is essentially just a corporate marionette and union buster.

The floor poopers are real, people. They’re real. They’re adults. And they’re out in force.

Boy you really knocked it out of the park with this one

You need a refresher on the history of the labor movement if you think skilled craftman was it’s driving force over replaceable workers.

Yeah, but I once heard that unions aren’t 100% perfect so corporations should be allowed to fuck everyone over with reckless abandon.

There is nothing—NOTHING—more important for American unions to do right now than to unionize Amazon warehouse workers.

Never worked for Amazon, but used to work for Whole Shitshow, and I’d really like to get a sense of whether those people are quaking in their boots right now (particularly store management) because their anti-union stance was so over the top. “We are BETTER than unions! Why would you want a union when you already have…

And Democrats let them.

You mean the bill that had all kinds of compromises for Republicans and insurance industry capitalists? Nah, that was also bad.

I don’t like to call out my fellow brethren, but every woman is different. You have to learn her quirks and you don’t get an instruction manual. Bedroom talk is key to healthy and fulfilling sex. Stop thinking you are god’s gift to women, your cock is some magical pleasure wand, and you have nothing left to learn.

yeah, but Trump would likely play the same bullshit as a means of getting more money out of any “damages”.

Was in a 4 year relationship with a great guy. It has taken me the six months we have been apart to realize that since he was married for 20 years and had like 2 partners before that, he really did think his bedroom skilz were the shit. To the point that when I didn’t like how he touched me he would let me know ALL of…

agreed that congress is not worthless as an institution, but the comment you were responding to said “at this point”. Congress has always had grand fights and major rifts, but they knew that negotiating a solution was the ultimate goal. The last few sessions are more interested in grandstanding to get reelected and…

Hey, Mar-a-Lago. Just wanted to let you know I am rooting for the hurricane.
