Just a few days ago, the UAW announced a campaign to unionize over a dozen non-union automakers in America. Now it’s reporting rapid progress, citing the example of 30% of workers at Volkswagen’s only U.S. plant having signed up in less than a week....
You probably haven’t heard of the battle pitting BCTGM Union Local 390G against International Flavors (IFF) in Memphis, TN, USA. But with workers who are mega-exploited and a company that refuses to stand down, it has become one of the most relevant for the working class....
UAW, which represents American auto workers, recently won a victory in their strike against the “Big Three” auto companies. Among the benefits:...
what’s the point of getting a degree if apparently you need all these other extraneous qualifications to get a proper job? networking, boot camps, certifications, training, programs, glass windows, button downs, on and on....

So, I just need to rant for a minute about what’s just happened. It’s made me feel fairly disposable as a worker. I work in I.T. support. I help people who can’t operate technology with highly complicated issues. I am highly skilled, well trained and I have a diverse set of understanding for technical issues....
Whole Maryland office is being “consolidated” with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous....
Got laid off in June and have been fortunate enough to be on gardening leave until the end of this month. The job search has not gone well so far and I started getting desperate....

At the last minute yesterday, apparently it had gotten switched to the original interview location, and I was not notified until I got to that second location and waited a few minutes. I...
Are the same petty mods running this show? If so, please ban me immediately. I don’t see how you can reconcile claiming to fight labor exploitation while at the same time giving away your labor for free to a billion dollar company.
In Germany we have a relatively good social security system. If you are unemployed, there are basically two types of unemployment benefits that you can apply to. If you don’t qualify for the first one, normal unemployment benefits (ALG1), then you would qualify for the second one (ALG2), which covers people who are not...
Millions of us, everyday of every hour, are working a multitude of hours at different periods in the day. All so that we, can prop and propel the few lives that are on top. The few who’s lives we’re both knowingly and unknowingly sustaining. Who’s lives that have children that we’re indirectly supporting through our...
Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I’m expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I’m an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don’t need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my...
