I couldn't find an image but there's an old Far Side cartoon that shows a building that's something like "Jake's Croissants and Fill Dirt". Reminds me of that.
My boss ordered an anti-fatigue mat from Amazon recently and entirety of the inside of that package smelled like a fish market.
an anti-fatigue mat
What is that because I am fatigued as fuck. I really need one. I'm OK with it smelling like fish.
The connection is that they both require workers, but don't want to pay them
Clothes that smell like seafood straight from the factory could be the next $100 white t-shirt or designer jeans with rips already in them.
When North Koreans unionize, they don't fuck around.
I read this somewhere else on Lemmy recently (sorry for comment steal):
American companies that are trying to dismantle unions need to understand that unions were a compromise to protect the companies. Because this is the alternative.
This issue extends to politicians as well. If you replace "Ancien Régime" with "Oligarchy-flavored Republic" it's almost like we're living the beginning script of the French Revolution here in America. That should induce quite the pandemic of sweaty palms in D.C. If that Oaf gets reelected, we're gonna have a Louis XVI on our hands... and we all know how that went down...
There's a quote I can't seem to find about unions being the compromise because the alternative is showing up at the factory owner's house.
The Battle of the Overpass wasn't that long ago.
Found the one I was thinking of:
Someone should probably tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner's front door and beating him to death in front of his family? I feel like they forgot.
It was on Twitter, no idea the origin.
The great part about history is sometimes there's no need to find a quote when there's tons of evidence! Here's a few:
France, George Besse killed in 85' due to his "revolutionary" turnaround of a company that included mass layoffs.
United States Labor Wars which spanned a century of bloodshed and violence. The Labor Wars included the Battle of Blair Mountain where the largest private army in US history was formed and approximately one million rounds were fired.
There's a reason your history classes were boring, there's a reason they opt for American propaganda instead of facts, and there is a reason companies are shitting themselves over union talks. Both the best and worst part about being a history buff is knowing the facts they don't want you to hear. Be a History Buff with me Limmings! We never meet up, there are no dues, you have no deadlines or tests, and you get to earn dark secrets you can use to torture your friends and family with. It's great!
lemmygrad in shambles.
lemmygrad mod if they were chinese union buster in this situation: YOU'RE BREAKING LEFTIST UNITY
Leftists need to unify to protect institutionalized capitalism. It’s the only way!
Hell yeah, power to the proletariat!
North Koreans in China showing the world how it's done. Who had THAT on their bingo card ?
Americans forget their middle class existed for the short time it did exactly because of actions like this.
You don't fight the enemy sitting on your toilet reading Lemmy posts. (It's still fun though)
This is a coal mine canary of the future of china, civil unrest and wealth inequity for everyone!
Solidarity
mao zedong would be proud.
Watch the so-called "Communist" Party leaders decry this and crush it violently. Marx is rolling so much in his grave that if they attached a generator to him they could power half of China with the electricity
When you have nothing left, you riot.
Good. I hope it spreads.
