I hope the strike happens, and I hope every striking worker knows what happens when you mix aluminum shavings with powdered rust.
when you mix aluminum shavings with powdered rust.
what happens? kaboom?
Not quiet tannerite. Thermite is commonly used to weld rail tracks together, so they have it on deck and know how to use it responsibly and safely.
Yaaaaayyyy! I love compelling people to work so I can continue to receive treats! This is civility in progress, folks!
This fucking guy doesn't realize he's right in line behind the fash :gui-better:
I have never seen the 💪 emoji used for anything other than nauseating lib shit.
Jiyuu Baba
At first glance this yokai seems harmless, flexing her big girlboss muscles at passers by and smiling creepily as she goes on meandering tangents without saying anything of substance. But this is a dangerous ruse, and when they're distracted, she pulls out her ice cream scoop and steals young people's future, gobbles it right up.
I use it when i'm proud of other people or myself. like a "you go dude!" I didn't know it was used for stupid shit. On the other hand, i don't really use emojis outside of personal conversations
I use it ironically to the point I'm unsure if I'm actually using it ironically
I only know him because he got paid like $100k to shill for democrats and the "Defiant!" in his name is a reference to his previous grift, not paying child support.
Has this insufferable Neolib goon been on the DNC payroll since 2016?
I am defiant as I greedily slurp the final splotches of polish from my oppressor's boots :bootlicker:
DEFIANT! (of the workers collectively demanding better working conditions) (for money paid directly from a Democrat SuperPAC)
I love that they keep saying "to avert a rail strike" when they mean "to make the rail strike illegal". literally :1984:
I'm trying to decide if he's stupid or really that big of a shithead
I bet Jeff Teidrich is just fucking furious that he wasn't the Trump Reply Guy to secure the bag—and it was this guy!
I have always had at least 4 days sick leave.
4 is the minimum???? I can not think of a single illness off the top of my head that would keep people at home for less than 4 days
No wonder the dems suck ass at Covid policy, the disease that knocks you out minimum a week.
The idea of having a limit on how sick you're allowed to get is so ridiculously inhumane to begin with. I know Amerikans are the most propagandized people on Earth, but the fact that they do not drag their ruling class out of their mansions to bludgeon them and feast on their flesh surprises me over and over again.
We only get 3, which leads to people coming in sick and getting other people sick. It makes no sense from a business standpoint either for that reason. It's cheaper to pay one person to stay home and keep others from also getting sick then it is so deal with an entire team/office/department out with flu for a week.
But that kind of thinking goes beyond 1.5 seconds in the future.
What a cuck. The unions aren’t going to fuck you, Brooklyn Dad. ✍️
So what was the final contract that got rammed through? I assume Sanders' proposal got scrapped but I can't find any specific information about what the current terms are besides people jerking Biden off for breaking the strike.
So the bill just forces them to take the latest negotiated contract or what exactly?
Yeah. That's a worse contract than I had at my last job and it wasn't even union. We get three personal days a year. These people are way more essential and have much more strenuous jobs. Everybody thinks the trains run themselves, but the point is that the operators have to be there and awake and paying attention the whole time just in case something does go wrong, because the system doesn't always pick it up in time, and if that does happen, the result will be an industrial disaster.
Basically, Congress is clearly trying to break the union, and bargaining on the idea that computers have solved the real knowledge needed to run the trains. It is likely the union reps believe the same thing, because they are also computer jockey dickweeds, so they are willing to kowtow because they don't want the union to be broken. The reason the rank & file believes differently is because they run the trains day-to-day and understand that, if anything, they are under-staffed. The computers fuck up all the time, and even when things do run smoothly, being there and being at attention is a huge chore, it's not like waiting for emails where if you fall asleep or get distracted for a couple of hours everything is fine. You are ON CALL. I've known a couple people who (after 2-3 years) became alcoholics in order to cope with the boredom, stress and terrible hours of those kinds of maintenance positions.
At such a job you don't want to have to do mandatory overtime, because there is little to keep you occupied. Simultaneously, you want to be on your game 100% of the time you are there, which is why they want so many personal days. I would rather a person with a hangover, or sickness, or thinking about their sick kid, or whatever go home, rather than risk an accident.
This is Congress either wanting to stress test the human element of the system and see where it breaks enough to cause industrial damage, so we will have to weather at least one industrial disaster in order for this to be changed, OR they are finally deciding to strip out the copper wiring of the U.S. Hard to tell these days.
