Happens in Germany too right now. People really need to find back to Unions and take more Power over their rights, before they just Cut it off

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.

Happening all over the globe. The capitalist hegemony is getting scared because their system is collapsing in on itself and, through the imperial boomerang, are beginning to employ practices only performed abroad on the interior in order to maintain their power. The US is just far ahead of the curve due to its lack of a functioning political leftwing keeping things in check.
Now is most certainly the time for people to unionize and start relearning why unions formed in the first place: so workers can band together to exert their political will and take ownership over their workplace from a parasitic class that has only ever existed to exploit our labor.
Says the obese pig to whom EVERY day is a holiday and a reason to golf. I never knew that POTUS was a part time position. America is fucked if there's ever a crisis before 11:00am, on a week end, or on a golfing day......
11 am? Hey he gets up daily at 4 am and "truths" on his website for a couple hours while on the toilet
Don't these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?
I used to love working holidays as a single guy for that double pay. ๐ค
No holidays means only 1x pay ๐ nevermind if you just wanted to take the day off without getting docked.
Nah F that, most Americans barley get any paid time off if any. If anything we need MORE.
Yeah, it's hilarious to hear "workers want less" when what they really mean is less forced unpaid time off, obviously if they want money they'd want to work. I'm sure those people would prefer paid time off to having to work.
Afaik, what he does is called manufacturing consent.
maybe there are too many non-working presidents right now?

Translation: we shouldnโt give black people in america a federal holiday because i am a racist and demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.
demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.
Trump: And I will make sure I go out with a bang and take everybody with me!
If he takes all of his cronies with him, that'd be great.
Technically, there is no law requiring a company to provide PTO or close on Holidays. Its up to the company, not this stupid bastard.
The government is however required to give most employees several days off throughout the year which might be what heโs bitching about
This guy LITERALLY raped a 13 year old back in the day, and only golfs.
Biggest problem with non-working "holidays" is that they only apply to certain more privileged people who also get paid to not work. Everyone else either sits at home unpaid for the day, or has to work (most often without any additional compensation) to support those who do get the paid day off.
Didn't he just create like two new holidays?
โThe workers donโt want itโ. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.
In all fairness, Trump is just a moldy, hollowed-out Golem. Every Juneteenth, Stephen Miller shmooshes his shiny dome straight into Trump's rear end and starts flicking and vibrating his tongue across Donnie's prostate like it's a musical instrument carved from rotting cheese, inducing a flurry of nerve impulses that spread through Trump's spine and into his abnormally short, sticky sausage fingers, where they smear out the latest batch of vile racist garbage.
This is the worst thing to read first thing in the morning ๐คฎ
Workers. Hate. Paid. Holidays.
We've been saying it for years, but nobody listens. The liberal nanny state keeps forcing me to stay home, spend time with my family, or even go on vacation, when all I really want to do is stare at spreadsheets for another eight hours.
Enough is enough!
Before resting, I go to work tired tomorrow. After resting, I go to work angry tomorrow.
Without tasting freedom for a day or two I would not be angry about losing it.
Defund weekends, they are some DEI bullshit!

Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.
Some 'workers' really don't want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don't want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.
Nah, the people who don't want it are hourly workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, which is tens of millions of workers.
The sad truth is he's right, but the reason is that for these people, missing out on $80 could be the difference between paying the water bill or not this month.
It's not that people love to work so much that they hate missing a day, it's that they can't afford to not work a day.
There's a big difference between "want" and "have to"...... No-one "wants' to work more, but many people "have to".
The workers don't want it. What workers actually want is an end to holidays, weekends, and time off in general. I mean, what good is being a "worker" if you're not working every waking minute of your life? /s
I know several, they're type that base their whole identity around their job, and the type to die very quickly after retirement. They also vote conservative.

And here we see this buffoon once again viciously attacking his political enemies...(Flips papers)...
..."Anyone with half a brain who works for a living."
And here I thought I would get away without seeing trump bitch about juneteenth..
Ah yes. The obligatory racist whinging on Juneteenth. Fat lazy bastard who doesn't get to work before 11 am because he requires "executive time" (tv time).
As a Dane, I have always been fucking shocked at the slave-like working conditions Americans work under. They barely get any time off as it is. What do you mean too many holidays?
The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.
Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me
Yeah there's that myth that if you make people work more hours more work will be done. It all makes sense on the spreadsheet!
Reality is the workers are human, humans get tired and you aren't getting more work out of anyone by making them work more hours. You're just making someone be at a place longer because you can.
Its basic math. A woman needs 9 months for a pregnancy, surely two women would only need 4.5 months.
The spreadsheet confirms what you just said. Adding it to the corporate policy manual now.
Also note that a pregnant woman has two brains, so they can work twice as fast!
