Rentlar , to Work Reform in Dollar Stores: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

The invidious link worked after half a minute, in Canada.

Seriously, if someone is supposed to be a cashier, stock clerk, security guard/watchman, delivery handler all at once, paying them anything less than $25/hr is a freaking disgrace.

Dang, I’ve seen way cleaner and better organized homeless camps and shantytowns than some of the featured dollar stores and warehouses.

If freight is seriously being dumped on the employees (or singular EMPLOYEE) before they can stock the previous shipments, or left to such neglect that birds shit on the goods, then at that point as an employee you’d be better off allowing customers to take the boxes with them to clear up inventory.

Should be a sign saying, “thieves welcome, just don’t pull a gun on me.”

Please see my reply to the other commenter, my issue is with “making money” being conflated with revenue.

Conflating “to make money” with “revenue” instead of profit is the iffy part for me… I apologize for not being clear about that.

At the risk of entering pedant territory, the idea of “making” the money is by doing something that would cause a person to pay more than before. If acquiring the “before” and the act of adding value incur costs, then to me, the “money made” is the revenue less those costs.

It’s revenue not profit but anyway…

Fun fact from this is The Home Depot receives revenue of an average worker’s salary in roughly 3 bars of “The Home Depot Song”

The blur in the picture means I can’t tell if the calf is 5 centimetres or 3 metres long.

Rentlar , to U.S. News in A Culinary Worker Strike Could Reshape the Nation's Restaurants

First a Pharmageddon, now we have a Cookpocalypse! Let this be the end of times for greedy American profiteers relying on work from vastly underpaid Americans.

Rentlar , to Work Reform in UAW preparing the US for a general strike in 2028

A political, solidarity, secondary strike etc. is where a union or group under an in-force bargaining agreement are not allowed to strike just because their friends/fellow workers are striking. While not under a collective agreement then they can strike. If everyone’s agreement expires simultaneously, then it is possible for any or every group to strike.

Rentlar , to Men's Liberation in The trouble with boys isn’t boys: "The way we talk about them has become the way to talk to them, and that’s not good for anybody."

It’s a tough balance to strike for sure. Part of female empowerment is to de-program young and old adults from environments where male identity was default/dominant and that’s absolutely important. For kids on the other hand that don’t have that default to begin with, it is definitely possible for them to feel left out or alienated if given that same unbalanced messaging.

Maybe Occupational Health and Safety should run commercials being like “If you’re a real man, you have a 3 point hold whenever you’re on a ladder and have someone watch you.”
