The sweeping #redstate drive to roll back #CivilRights & #liberties
by Ron Brownstein
Since 2021, #Republican-controlled states have passed a swarm of #laws to restrict #VotingRights, increase penalties for #public #protest, impose new restrictions on #transgender youth, #BanBooks, & limit what #teachers, #college #professors, & #employers can say about #race, #gender, & #SexualOrientation.
#AbortionRights

Since it's Labor Day, it's the perfect time to highlight how unions have fundamentally shaped the modern #workplace.
Here are just five monumental changes we owe to #union advocacy:
1. #Weekends
2. 40-hr #work weeks
3. #OSHA, ensuring safer working conditions.
4. Benefits like health ins, retirement pensions, and unemployment support.
5. #Childlabor laws. (It's startling to realize we needed #legislation to prevent #employers from exploiting children.)

People often think that the self-regulation techniques I teach as part of my meditation classes are for yoga and meditation junkies. This is a shame. My focus with my courses and workshops lies on using these techniques in every day life in every possible situation.

As Sarah O'Connor (FT) pointed out yesterday, the one good thing to come out of the current arguments about #inflation & #wages is that the #minimumwage has not been targeted as a 'cause';
Of course, this is partly because the UK's minimum wage remains quite low & in the competition for staff (in a 'tight' labour market), #employers are having to offer above MW to get staff...
But, it also shows the MW is not just part of the labour market - minimum wages as normality is a good thing!

โ#Employers are operating with no consequenceโ: #Wagetheft was also a problem in the #healthcare industry ($28.4 million); #construction ($27.6 million); #janitorial services and #retail stores ($5.9 million each); and supermarkets and convenience stores ($5.8 million).

An analysis of federal and state databases sheds new light on the prevalence and scale of wage theft in New York #restaurants and other industries, placing the total wages stolen in one five-year period at more than $203 million.

โIn May, union workers filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board against the Royals alleging bad faith bargaining including intimidation and harassment during the contract negotiations. The filing was amended earlier this month to include 30 additional charges.โ
Because the penalties are pathetic
Somehow #unions are cast as the bad guys ๐คทโโ๏ธ

@lussenpop #Wisconsin like most of #America relies on an undocumented unprotected underclass of #workers that #employers can exploit
Employers are not held accountable all anger is directed at those being exploited not those profiting from exploitation and maintaining the situation
