The bike shops I've applied to have offered the same as I was making at #REI or better. Except one yesterday offered me less and no other benefits and then seemed shocked when I asked about healthcare. The owner seemed to care about his employees, but was also confused about not being able to find anyone. I get that bike shops as a business model just don't work in the U.S., but where do places like this expect to find workers with no rent to pay or other bills at all?
"If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates a letter from the worker and then emails it to the trade union, ending their membership."
The innovation will continue until morale improves :goose_bonk:

This year The Met Gala and International Workers Day aka #mayday, are happening on the same day. While I doubt many in the fediverse care much about couture—the overlap to me is important, but I'm sad will likely be noted.
I just published a video on #PeerTube for the first time! 🥳
"A video made in 2003 for the Dead Vicious song Smash the State (also known as Guerilla Love) based on footage shot during the MayDay Carnival near The Freedom Shop in Upper Cuba St, Wellington NZ, 1 May 2003."
Original box I bought in '81, we had been playing since '79, though I waited to get the upadeted rules. Dice might be original, or might be from Squad Leader. #TravellerRPG#MayDay
Scarfolk Council public information messages for #MayDay.
Be aware that illegal morris dancers have been sighted in this area. Do NOT approach them. They are thought to be dangerous and armed with prohibited handkerchiefs. #BankHolidayMonday#Scarfolk
The @ScottishGreens councillor Dan Hutchison has called for the city to stop flying the Union Jack on numerous days & has suggested new flag-flying days which would commemorate events more in line with #Glasgow’s progressive values.
Lyrics:
9 to 5 / For service and devotion
You would think that I / Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead / But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is / Out to get me
They let you dream / Just a watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder / But you got dreams he'll never take away
May Day green. A lovely walk this morning while the world was fresh. Bathed my face in the dew - not that it’s likely to do much good! #spring#Scotland#MayDay
How many of these #TechLayoffs would be prevented if the tech industry had strong unions who could fight against CEO mismanagement and shareholder greed?
