It is my firm belief that every non-executive position in this country should be unionized.

You have a large corporation with 20,000 employees? They should be unionized.
You have a small business with two employees? They should be unionized.

Do you know any climate tech companies with unions?

rockSlayer@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

There are unionized nonprofits doing work to fight climate change. The only ones I know of are unionized with CWA

It's not a sector I'm familiar with at all, sorry.

I hate that mid-level managers can’t unionize in the US

Gotta be real, the poor decisions of mid-level managers have probably fucked me more than execs.

Both can rot as far as I'm concerned.

Prime day should be boycott Amazon day

Screamium@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y

Too easy, there's never anything good on prime day

Honestly, the only reason I remembered Prime Day last week was because an order I'd placed for something was scheduled to arrive then. (The only reason I ordered the thing from Amazon was because it was the only place to get it. I much prefer ordering from Best Buy and using their store pickup.)

Don't scab for the bosses,

don't listen to their lies,

Us poor folk haven't got a chance unless we organize.

Quitting Amazon was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I started seeing my life as a single, one chance experience without the plague of needing to constantly surround myself with ever changing gadgets.

Quitting Amazon alone didn’t do that for me, but it was a good start.

At first I thought you meant quitting your Amazon job, not quitting from shopping there lol

Inspirational either way

Good Amazon has been abusing it's people for a very long time.
