It's not a pay cut if you're getting an 8% raise YoY when the historic average inflation is closer to 3% and 2024 is shaping up to be lower than that, with 2025 forecast to be lower than 2024.

If they repeat this 6 years from now, they could be making $200k+ annually soon enough, that's a huge amount of money for your average person.

The labor movement here is probably getting a 10x bigger raise than your average worker in the same timeframe. I can damn near guarantee Walmart isn't going to raise its wages more than 1 or 2 dollars per hour in the timeframe these guys are getting 24 extra dollars per hour. Hell, they might not give ANY raises since there are mass layoffs happening and unemployment is on the rise.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

This seems like a huge win for the companies considering what else would have been possible.

To them it's a huge loss compared to what would've happened without the union - max 5% annual raises, if that.

has no single payment to cover the past inflation

That's like Netflix telling you "hey we didn't raise our prices enough to keep up with inflation, we'll now charge you for last 5 year's inflation in a single payment"

It won't fly because it wasn't in the original contract.

has no hours-reduction

Normally I'd agree with you that this sucks, but aren't they hourly? Hours reduction means pay reduction. If I was hourly, I'd want the ability to work more hours (AND obviously a higher hourly rate to begin with)

You're talking about this like this isn't a huge win for these workers, but that's just not true. Yeah there's been bad inflation, but minimum, mean and median wages have NOT increased nearly as fast as they should. Hell the minimum in the US has been unchanged for decades. And plenty of people still make minimum (or less in tipped jobs).

Now we just need more sectors to form unions, and strike successfully. In more countries than just the US. Here in EU we make less in tech than longshoremen do in the US whereas in the US, tech salaries are nearly uncapped. Unions could help. And obviously unions in the less well-paid industries are even more important.

Qbittorrent, plex or jellyfin and if you're into it, the arr suite for automation, all configured in a single docker compose file. It's beautiful. But I don't know if it's as nice under Windows (if that's what you're using). For Linux it's definitely super nice

See this is funny because the venn diagram for "hates Greta Thunberg" and "thinks that (((they)))))))))) are resonsible for everything" might as well be a circle where I'm from.

Never said he was consistent about... well, anything, really.

As for his wealth - nobody but him and maybe a select few individuals know if his net worth is even positive. He might be better off escaping the US and taking a big fat paycheck from any of the foreign dictators he's sold state secrets to.

Trump doesn't really need the US empire to stand, he'll be just fine in Russia or China considering he cozied up to both Putin and Xi when he was in office.

I meant fellate him metaphorically (I mean who knows, maybe he does it for real too), the problem isn't sexuality, but that a "leader" would bend over backwards for an adversary.

Funnily enough, didn't Trump suggest that because Harris is a woman, anyone world leader can just sleep with her to get whatever they want? I might remember wrong.
