Good on them. I said over the radio on at a retail store that when they ask for extra help on gathering karts to start unionizing then

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

probably not a good idea to join a very conservative UNION in partnership.

Can confirm, I considered an engineering job in Riverside in ~2018. The salary offered to me as an early-to-mid career engineer was barely enough for the cheapest 1 bedroom apartment I could find. When I asked for a salary study, I was told "people make sacrifices" to work in CA and that I could find something cheaper by renting a room under the table or by commuting an hour-plus. If they would do that to a "white-collar" professional, imagine the coercion towards an hourly laborer consider low or "no" skilled.
Good luck, folks working at DJT6. I'll be cheering for you.
Big names have a big draw. So they treat people like shit.
I mean I don't know if I would trust the teamsters of all unions but it's better nothing I guess.
Wow they call their facilities DJT now?
Yeah, I’m really curious about the naming. Most places use nearby airport codes, of which I can’t find any matching codes nearby. Also they usually start numbering from 1 and I can’t find any facilities numbered 1-5. Does anyone have more information on the naming as this looks really weird.
DJT 1-5 are probably for-profit slave colonies, I mean, detention centers, and not publicized. Amazon probably took a page from Apple and has netting under the windows so they don't lose labour to petty things like suicide.
