The has long coordinated efforts to suppress labor costs through the , a multimillion-dollar machine funded both by its restaurant members and by the fees pay for required food-safety classes, according to a recent New York Times report.

The group has spent its chest on lobbying campaigns to preserve a subminimum for tipped workers — who are disproportionately young, women, and people of color, and far more likely to live in than regular minimum wage workers — and to help block state and federal sick leave proposals and minimum wage increases.

But now, restaurant executives are on edge. campaigns are suddenly penetrating their industry, which employs about 10 percent of the American and has one of the lowest rates of any sector. Over the past few years, baristas have nearly 280 Starbucks stores in the face of enormous odds, and dozens of other coffee and restaurants have followed suit.

“The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, every newspaper reports on every union win… when an unfair labor practice charge is filed, when there are challenges to elections,” said Felice Ekelman, a principal at Jackson Lewis, one of the oldest and most infamous union avoidance law firms in the country. “When did this become first page ?”

“And guess who’s reading it?” replied Laura Pierson-Scheinberg, one of Ekelman’s Jackson Lewis colleagues, as the two sat across from each other on the main stage of the summit. “My kids. Literally. I have an 18-year-old, my kids are into it.”

The two lawyers were discussing a new threat for the restaurant industry: the unexpected rise of union campaigns in workplaces that, for decades, have largely been immune from such organizing efforts.

“Before, I used to say… ‘[Unionization] isn’t a problem for you in the restaurant industry,’” said Pierson-Scheinberg. But now, she warned, “Kids do not care about paying union dues. Two percent of pay, are you kidding me? Their Netflix costs more. They think it’s a hell of a deal.”

The “kids,” she added, are which would have previously seemed unreachable.

and its concept of dynamic is an interesting approach IMHO: youtube.com/watch?v=SmUpuM1RN4

Are you sitting in a similar working environment with different places? How it is going for you?

Generally, I don't comment on legislation taking place in a country other than my own. And I'm cognizant of the fact that Mental Health First Aid is administered separately in different countries.

But I think it's worth amplifying the voices of experts saying the secret part aloud.

As a certified MHFA instructor, I can say that there's merit to arguments made by both critics and advocates of MHFA. I recall seeing a LinkedIn poll about a year ago in which more than 70% of respondents said MHFA should be mandatory at (which seems to be the point of debate in the UK — I haven't studied the legislation). This reflects naïveté about and the selling it, and perhaps reflects well-meaning desperation regarding how to support the of .

There's a lot to absorb from the data, but in a recent study of 3,400 people across 10 countries:

69% said their manager had the greatest impact on their mental health, on par with their partner

51% said their doctor had the greatest impact

41% said their therapist had the greatest impact

Good read from @ranimolla on the balance between full-time & contract work in tech

As many people have observed, for workers, this can mean shifting into "treating your career like a company" so that cashflow, benefits, healthcare, etc., are handled differently
