Guess how you get hazard pay. You strike. Why would the boss pay you more for work you're already doing now?

With unemployment so high why would they keep people threatening a strike?

Wages aren't going to increase for at least a decade after this.

At the factory I work new guidelines have been put in place today. These guidelines are specifically to protect management from us filthy people on the floor. We are no longer allowed to talk to them in person, it can only be done over a phone. They have also installed plexiglass in the entrance that we must walk through that divides us from management's hallway. A bathroom has also been deemed as off limits to all but management.

The factory floor workers are livid.

Time for a strike.

much like biden's rape of tara read the fact that the media isn't reporting on it is proof that it's fake news

most unions can't strike if they have an active CBA. we can only strike when it expires and a new one isn't ratified.

idk if it made national news but here in Nevada, Clark County (the vegas one) suspended all of its union contracts summarily, with zero legal basis for it, in response to the crisis

Hey, there was a pretty good article here that talked about how Cuomo handled Covid in NY badly, and looking past his appearances he actually sucks poo poo. Anyone have a link to that article (or if there's multiple, any article like that)!

I don't even know how anyone's getting fooled in the first place. People keep saying its because New Yorks so demse but Hong Komg and San Fran are dense as poo poo too. He and De Blasio waited two weeks too long to shut everything down and then did it half-assedly everything explodes while California which shut down early is bad but isn't more than any other country on the planet by itself bad has poo poo more under control but he cries on camera and because the media's all based in New York he''s somehow this genius leader while he tries to cut medicaid during a loving pandemic.

I recall reading about Georgia sending their guard out to nursing homes and all I could think was what the gently caress are they going to do to help. Turns out, not much!

Because upper management get excited about new IT products and want to be in the cool crowd.

He's on TV constantly (at least in the NY/NJ region) and his press conferences are more lucid than Biden's 2-minute video calls if he's even still doing that and less stupid than Trump's bullshit. That's all.
