#Zoom employees and anyone else in similarly asinine situations where #ReturnToOffice mandates are implemented to exert control over employees and prop up outdated real estate boondoggles in the middle of another covid surge should start #CollectiveBargaining negotiations with an unassailable demand to be paid for commute time, from the moment their vehicle leaves their driveway. If the CEO thinks innovation requires commuting, then he needs to pay every goddamned cent to employees for doing so. AND that time counts towards 40-hr overtime. You want an employee to waste 4 hours of their life every day commuting? Then FUCKING PAY THEM FOR IT.

Why Is #CollectiveBargaining Good for #Workers?

Quick question for trade union folks…

How bad is it to switch trades before you finish your apprenticeship? Is it normal? Or a bad look that’s gonna follow us forever?

Longshoremen/women have never been the easy union. 😊 ✊ #solidarity ✊ for them as they continue negotiating and possibly job action. Likely now with an annoyed Federal government looking to legislate them back to work if they rightly exercise that power. #unions #bargaining #negotiations #collectivebargaining #workers #BCPoli #CanPoli #CdnPoli https://globalnews.ca/news/9865084/bc-port-strike-unionized-workers-vote-reject-proposed-contract-settlement/

#USA #Unions #WorkplaceDemocracy #CollectiveBargaining: "Jane McAlevey is a union organizer. She started her career as an environmental activist, and that’s how she found herself fighting alongside labor organizers who helped her understand that workers were the key to winning the environmental justice fights she was picking. That brought her into organizing, using methods developed in the early 20th century, refined and passed down from organizer to organizer, and then from organizers to worker leaders and the rank-and-file of countless fights for workplace democracy.

McAlevey’s methods date to a time before labor had any protections in US law: they were designed and perfected in an era when unionization was illegal, when bosses, courts and cops worked in concert to smash labor at the first sign of collective organizing.

The National Labor Relations Act and other labor protections arose after workers organized in the teeth of the law and the billyclubs and bristling guns of the cops and the bosses’ hired goons. Union organizing was invented for an era in which the deck was stacked against unions, and the NLRA and other legal protections came after successful labor campaigns."

@rbreich Then when you have a reduction in collective bargaining you can see how the wealth of the top 10% increases #collectiveBargaining #Unions #Strikes #incomeInequality #NovaraMedia

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratification are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.
