RE: health insurance bailout. I feel as though, if they were to get a bailout that would probably be the last straw for a lot of folks. Despite the talking point of liking plan/keeping plan. Nobody actually likes their insurance company. I would posit that they in fact loathe their insurance company. Everyone knows at least 3 people who have been hosed over or have been hosed over themselves. At a certain point, I would think, it would be impossible to prop up a system that at it's core is gate-keeping your health for profit.

I know this is a radical idea, but what if the states had this centralized government that could negotiate collectively on their behalf, and then dole out the equipment and supplies as the states need them? When the history books talk about the breakup of the United States, this needs to be a key talking point.

Can we discuss hazard pay? I've seen a number of news items with groups pushing for it, and I have no desire to take wind out of their sails, but something about it has never sat right with me. My issue is that, and I'm trying to word this in the least succ way possible, it feels like hazard pay turns a safe working environment into a commodity that gets bought and sold for a given price rather than a right. Hazard pay gives companies the option to settle the question with a small pay bump, while glossing over any substantive changes to make the workplace actually safer. You buy off the radical elements within your workforce, and job's done. Now, I understand that this is a capitalist economy, everything is a commodity, and at some level you just have to accept that. I also understand that sometimes hazards simply cannot be alleviated without closing the workplace. So, I'm not against the idea of a pay bump to compensate for that. And as far as the fight for hazard pay can be used to build an organization that leads to unionization down the line, I support it. If there's another thread this would belong in, I'll post it there.

no, hazard pay is what you get for facing the inherent risks that can’t be mitigated effectively. paying it out doesn’t have to change the requirements on making it as safe as possible as well which comes to enforcement, so ymmv in our glorious 2020, but hazard pay isn’t inherently incompatible with safe workplaces

Yeah you don't get to just pay hazard pay instead of following OSHA rules or something, it's to compensate for the fact that some jobs are just goddamn dangerous no matter how much PPE you wear.

Ideally hazard pay should provide incentive to improve conditions so the employer can avoid paying out. To do so there needs to be a comparable cost between reducing the threat and the additional payroll. How often that happens, though...YMMV.

Flippant answer: Good Less flippant: I don't see the downside. Seems like with the management company out of the way, the tenants could come together to take over the role as an autonomous union. And it removes a level of obfuscation between the tenants and the actual owners and gives the new union a way to negotiate directly with the landlord. Yeah, I can't really find a downside.

It shocking how many people consider it "being crass and greedy" to want to be compensated for the increase in risk inherent in working with the public during a global pandemic. People have had it drilled into their heads all their lives that it is somehow shameful to stand up for themselves and demand fair compensation for their labour.
