SKULL.GIF posted:What? This Steadiman posted:Yeah it's a terrible deal that changes very little from what was already agreed and wastes the ridiculous leverage they had. Not to mention dragging this out for even longer, allowing productions to steamroll ahead with even more ridiculous hours and Fraturdays to get wrapped before this gets struck down. It's going to take weeks to work through whether the vote will pass or not and at that point a bunch of people will start to get impatient with the process and the membership will split on whether the contract is enough or not. This was the most powerful position the IA was ever going to be in, I feel like they should have fought harder for much bigger concessions. While they'll still have power weeks from now, it's going to be less than the near 100% united front they had here.

From other thread: CW: Alec Baldwin shooting quote:As the camera crew — members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees — spent about an hour assembling their gear at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, several nonunion crew members showed up to replace them, the knowledgeable person said.

Jesus they weren't doing safety meetings? That AD wasn't a spring chicken. This is gonna come back down on Baldwin as a producer too if they were intentionally undermining safety, which it sure as poo poo sounds like they were.

this is interesting- Amazon workers in Staten Island filing to form an indie union. It’ll be tough to have the bankroll to fight Amazon’s union busting but if it works that’s incredible https://text.npr.org/1048956134

Any new reports from the John Deere factory or have they managed to clamp down on embarrassing moments (for now at least)?

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:theyve been doing it very publicly too well they don’t have PR professionals with years-long relationships with journalists like every union does. difficult to tell from the outside whether they’re truly just focused on an internal struggle rather than getting publicity, or if they just don’t know what they’re doing. could be either! could be both!

So basically it's a shitshow and JD corporate hopes they can keep a lid on the mess long enough before all the dirty details pour out hilariously?

There’s a global surge in demand for manufactured goods (probably especially for industrial equipment like JD harvesters and such) and prices are spiking. pay the union what they want, and pass off the price increase like everyone else is. Its quite literally the cost of doing business. instead, JD management is donning their top hats and monocles and wondering why Pinkerton keeps hanging up on them when they scream “BRING THE BROWNINGS TO THE PICKET LINE AND GIVE IT TO THEM!!!” it’s baffling to me.

there’s absolutely a concerted effort by capital to defy labor even when it makes no economic sense to do so, because they’re afraid of ceding any power at all. the upside is that because capitalists are all rugged individualist John Galts, it seems likely that some of them will mash the Betray button and cut a deal with labor to screw their competitors. AGCO should be out there signing as many contracts with farmers as they can right now. eat John Deere’s lunch.

it’s absolutely mind blowing to me. I’ve seen this mindset enough to not be surprised by it anymore but it’s still so alien, it’s like seeing someone order bacon and goose poo poo on a pizza. if you’re not a huge rear end in a top hat, having a union is great for an employer, because a lot of management functions that ordinarily require you to pay an expensive tier of do-nothing middle managers can be outsourced to the union itself. it gives you one unit to negotiate with who will act as a partner (since if your business goes under they all lose their jobs!). if I owned a business I would absolutely prefer to have a unionized workforce. I have been in a position to advise management of this in the past, this has been my recommendation, and most of the time they still don’t get it. madness.

Our local just got control of the schedule back from management, and I don’t understand why it took so long. We were hitting them with at least one scheduling grievance pretty much every pay period, because the scheduling sups can’t be bothered to follow the basic contractual and MOU requirements for shift scheduling, let alone assigning overtime properly.
