A new bill from #SanFrancisco Assembly Member #MattHaney would clearly outline when companies can communicate w/their #employees during off hrs, following other countries that have passed “right to disconnect” #laws.
…#unionized industries like health care & airlines would likely be the least affected, since their working hrs are hashed out at the bargaining table in many cases. #AB2751 specifically allows #CollectiveBargaining agreements to take precedence over #RightToDisconnect protections.
Other industries w/less #union penetration, such as #tech, would likely see clearer rules ahead of time e.g. like when #coders would be required to pull all-nighters to ship the latest update.
Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.
Stanno cercando di abbassare il costo del lavoro. Nello specifico, stanno licenziando tutti in modo che accettiamo salari più bassi al momento della riassunzione.
In ambito #infosec , questo si ritorcerà contro di loro.
Licenziando tutti, il livello del debito tecnico di sicurezza aumenterà e dovranno assumere tutti E POI ALCUNI a tassi ancora più alti.
COSÌ. Pulito. Fottutamente fantastico.
Nel frattempo, cerca di capire come creare sindacati. Inizia a farlo. Gli addetti ai lavori e la sicurezza informatica non sono abituati alla necessità di contrattazione collettiva. Ne hai bisogno adesso.
Scopri i concetti di leva economica e come funziona come contributore individuale e quando fallisce come funziona la leva collettiva. L'intera frase "se licenzi quella persona, ce ne andiamo tutti" funziona.
Tutti voi hackerate i sistemi ogni giorno. Studiate tutti ingegneria sociale e la combattete ogni giorno.
Hackerate il mercato del lavoro. Progettate socialmente la nostra protezione reciproca.
Today in Labor History January 30, 1933: German President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler Chancellor. Almost immediately, Hitler began his attacks on labor, with his Sturmabteilung (paramilitary) raiding and burning union offices and assassinating labor leaders, while the police looked on. In May, 1933, he created the German Labor Front, a fascist labor organization to replace the gutted unions. They sent many of the labor leaders to concentration camps and abolished collective bargaining and union elections. Also in May, 1933, the Nazis also attacked and destroyed the Institute for Sexual Sciences, home to the world’s first trans medical clinic, which performed the world’s first sexual reassignment surgeries, for Karl Meir Baer, in 1906, and Lili Elbe, in 1930-1931.
Today in Labor History January 18, 1934: The anarchist General Confederation of Labor launched a General Strike in Portugal after the government banned unions, strikes and collective bargaining. The government put it down, killing 100, deporting 600 and outlawing of the labor union. Some members of the union blamed the strike’s failure on Communists, who they believe ratted out their plans to the government in advance, resulting in the arrest of several strike leaders the night before the strike took place.
I extend my solidarity to Scandinavian workers striking against #tesla.
Tesla is refusing to sign any collective worker’s bargaining agreements, which are the price of doing business if you want to do conduct it in the Nordics.
Poor little Elon is trying to sue his way out of this, but his cars won’t get unloaded from ships. And sympathy strikes are legal here, so he can’t just use the neighbouring countries to go around it.
The dispute highlights an ideological stalemate between US corporate power and the deeply entrenched principles underpinning the Nordic economic model...
Ah, The Finnish transport union has joined in support of the Swedish workers with a sympathy strike. It’s incredibly powerful- nothing moves when the transport unions strike, and now it’s Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland 😂.
Musk should have come to the table when the Swedes asked nicely.
#ElonMusk has threatened workers with retaliation if they form #union. "Elon Musk’s business model is to avoid respecting #HumanRights. Now he is taken on by one of our strongest #unions. We must defeat the Tesla business model, and Sweden is the best place to start."
Amid strikes across the United States in industries ranging from health care to entertainment to automotive manufacturing, members of the Senate Finance Committee met Tuesday to review the landscape of collective bargaining powers for Maryland’s state employees and to discuss where opportunities may expand in the upcoming 2024 legislative session.
#Zoom employees and anyone else in similarly asinine situations where #ReturnToOffice mandates are implemented to exert control over employees and prop up outdated real estate boondoggles in the middle of another covid surge should start #CollectiveBargaining negotiations with an unassailable demand to be paid for commute time, from the moment their vehicle leaves their driveway. If the CEO thinks innovation requires commuting, then he needs to pay every goddamned cent to employees for doing so. AND that time counts towards 40-hr overtime. You want an employee to waste 4 hours of their life every day commuting? Then FUCKING PAY THEM FOR IT.
"We formed our union because we want to make NYT a better place to work. Yesterday 100+ members took to Slack to tell @meredith_levien and @AGSNYT we’re tired of delay tactics in bargaining. Here is one member's post and in 🧵are a few of the ways management has been stalling.”
