That can’t possibly be a real sign.
And if it is, it can’t possibly have worked.
That can’t possibly be a real sign.
It’s real, but it went viral and they got a ton of backlash online for it a few years ago.
Well they did ask for it and rightfully so lol
There are three chemical plants in my city who make similar products where I could work. Two of them pay half of what I make per hour.
Guess which plant has a union?
The only job I ever had that was unionized, I really didn’t even notice the dues. I made so much more money than every other job I had, and I wasn’t even spending it because it was on a cruise ship where they fed me, clothed me, and gave me a place to sleep the whole 5 months. I had more money than I ever had at one time when I finally disembarked.
Yeah I’ve heard stories about cruise ships. Who absolutely do not want to work on one where the crew are not in a union. You are effectively trapped in the office 24 hours a day for months on end, there’s a lot of scope for abuse of personnel in that scenario.
You pay 700 $ for the Union but get yearly pay raises and work benefits. For most people the benefits give you immidiatly more money than it takes.
I live in a country where over 90% of people work in an unionized environment.
“In the amount of time it takes to vote, you could play three games of pool. Three! Now dat’s fresh.”
Unions always have paid there way for me by better pay and conditions. Also, in Australia Union fees are tax deductible.
Their*
Still blows my mind that people confuse they’re, their, and there (along with your and you’re).
I have a learning disability, yet I figured this out 20 years ago; why hasn’t anyone else? I just don’t get it. Sorry for being a dick but it is beyond frustrating that people are still fucking this up somehow.
For some people english is there 3rd or 4th language. Their can be a mistake here and they’re.
Tbf it’s mostly native speakers making this mistake I think
Don’t underestimate me power
Upvoted butt this is sum hard two reed shit write hear.
You are welcome to politely correct someone
Don’t be a jerk about it. This is victim blame.
Sorry I’m bipolar. I’m trying my best.
Sorry for being a dick but it
Just stop then.
Between people on the internets lack of good grammar and common courtesy, the first one is a far smaller problem in my eyes.
Wait, I remember this in Henry V, France sends Henry V of England tennis balls You don’t want to take back continental English soil. You want to play sports at home!
The gift was not well received.
I remember this bit when Putin gave Trump a football, a gesture that Trump did not fully understand.
Living in Europe means it was my boss who helped me get into a union for my first job. Unions are important.

For context, we have unions, but many of them have been co-opted by politicians or their flunkies.
Would you rather get endless hours of fun from a video game or blow the money on rent and never see it again?
Explain how
Money can be exchanged for
games as a servicegoods and servicesI wish I had no kids and three money.
Wtf, is that sign real? No way, that can’t be real…
Yep, I was there when this happened.
You can almost write the script where management spitballs ideas on how to prevent people from joining the union.
I would rather pass laws that protect the worker thus negating any need for unions and their extra fees.
I live in Denmark, a country known for its great worker protection laws, and that is only because of the unions. I pay roughly 1000$ p.a and let me tell you one thing, that is the single greatest money I’ve ever spent. It is sort of a safetynet above the government one plus a lot of other things. Worker protection laws are great, but they won’t happen without your unions fighting for them.
The only reason any of those laws exist is because of unions, and more specifically, because union members physically fought for them.
Laws are great when everyone agrees to respect them. When that respect falters — gestures widely — it’s time to fight.
Also OSHA
Joining a union is easier
Unions would be useful even then, and if american history over the past decades is any indication, strong unions might be necessary to keep those laws too, lest capital use it’s influence to erode them without an organized force to counter it.
I don’t think strong unions, like they were, are a thing anymore, this is why rights or benefits are being reduced…generally speaking, world over.
Laws dont work when nobody enforces them
That’s not how this works. Pretty much all labour protections have been fought for by unions. Without unions none of those would exist.
That would be nice, but the government is controlled by the same people who don’t want you to unionize, so good luck.
Besides unionized wages are higher, so those “fees” are more of an investment, with much higher returns than you’d typically get for investing only $700/year.
I pay 35€ every 3 months, so 4x35 per year
Maybe Delta employees have the Platinum union plan.
My last employee orientation really didn’t like me saying to the group of 10 or so “anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren’t allowed to discuss wages”
And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying “guys we aren’t supposed to talk about wages” when the topic came up one day and “I’m gonna get a manager” when the discussion continued.
Yeah I’ve been told by quite a few jobs not to discuss pay rise offers. I’ve always said “yeah sure” and then completely ignored them the moment I left the office.
If they hadn’t said anything at all I would have just assumed that everyone was getting the same offer the fact that they told me not to discuss it meant they were probably screwing us over. Best to find out about that.
