Look, man, tripling Kings ticket prices won’t fix anything.

So insensitive...meanwhile this is fine.
Did you literally skip past the very next clause in the sentence where he says he read the transcript?
Except it is followed by “I read the transcripts.” That is basically the same as seeing it because both the questions and answers are typed up. For example, a script is much like a transcript. I can tell what happens in a film by reading the script, but not seeing it. I can do the same for a presser and the…
Wait, why shouldn’t a cafeteria worker take summer work when they aren’t needed in the summer? Teachers aren’t paid for not working in the summer. They just have the option of stretching their paychecks so they get weekly amounts (in case they aren’t great at budgeting). If they want the ability to have whatever they…
It should be of zero concern to the employer what their employees can or can not afford to do with the money they are paid. The employee/employer relationship is a simple one that has one side paying the other side for a task to be completed. Again, these are employees NOT dependents. If the employee can’t live on…
What one can afford is totally irrelevant to the issue. I can afford to pay the guy that sells hot dogs outside my office 20 bucks a hot dog but he can go fuck himself with those hot dogs if he thinks I’m going to. The value of a task isn’t tied to how much somebody can afford. The only thing that should matter is if…
I don’t think people care about the dining hall workers nearly as much as HamNo thinks they do, but we’ll see. Cambridge is limousine liberal central (other than Manhattan, I guess).
Look, I knew this would be an unpopular opinion on here. Harvard is neither the government, nor the workers’ daddy. It is not Harvard’s responsibility to care for the workers when they do not have any work for them to perform. That’s not employment, that’s charity. I live in a cold weather state, I wouldn’t get a job…
No, everyone does NOT deserve a “living wage” get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. When you hire someone to do a job you are paying for a task to be performed not taking on a dependent. If the person doesn’t like the pay being offered they are free to tell you to go pound sand.
How about any job that someone will do for a “sub-living wage”. Just because you show up someplace for 40 hours a week and successfully manage to not shit your pants doesn’t mean your entitled to a certain amount of money. If Harvard can find people to do that same work for a fraction of what those people are asking…
At current, it seems that it’s not a full time job, and Harvard does not intend for it to be, as that is part of their demands.
It’s a lot when you don’t need those people to be working year round or every shift.
For a job that a motivated 14 year old could probably perform with a few hours of training? Yea, kinda.
600 people asking to work and be paid in the summer when the need is probably a tiny fraction of that actually does seem like a lot to ask to me.
This. I don’t see the problem here. Don’t throw a pie in someones face at a formal event and you don’t worry about getting the crap beaten out of you. Fuck KJ for about a million other things, but this one is a wash.
Zero - Because when some nut job comes up on you from behind, yells at you while shoving you in the face (even with a pie) - you are allowed to fight back against that assault
Why should he face charges? He was attacked
