Yeah we are not google. It is broken.
Seems to me that the biggest threat is corporate money and influence.
This is so repugnant that SCOTUS would even have the ability to do this. Weapons manufacturers have more rights than we do.
Absolutely. This is collective bargaining 101. Look at the historic UAW strike of 2023 and what they asked for at the start. Discounting that it was the first trilateral strike against the big three automakers union history, they asked for an historic amount of benefits and workplace changes.
-46% pay increase over contract duration
-Restoration of pension
-Retiree healthcare
-Healthcare benefits for all
-Cost of living adjustments
-End to the wage tiers system that divides the laborers into different “classes” of workers
-32-hour workweek with no loss in pay
If you don’t go for audacious, you will get far less than you need.
They got:
-25% pay increase in wages over the 4.5 year contract, 11% at outset
-Cost of living adjustments
-$5k bonus
-Elimination of the tiered wage system (Fucking huge)
If they never went to bat for the audacious, they never would have gotten the tiered system removed. Now they have far more solidarity and collective bargaining power for the next negotiation. All because of audacious demands and striking unilaterally across the big three.
This is just one contract negotiation and strike. Much work to still be done.
They asked for 77% pay raises over 6 years and negotiated for 62%. This is a decent deal. Any victory for labor is a victory for all our us. Sure there is still a lot of work to be done, but this is a win.
Congrats to the longshoremen!
Yeah that’ll fix it’s completely broken search.

Fuck Judge Schelp. What a monster.
Yeah, I’d happily pay money for this car, but not 35k. The cost is a joke.
I would like to continue getting small cars after my Yaris and Leaf die. Our 2015 Leaf is still kicking but range has always been an issue. That said, for getting around the city core, nothing beats it aside from public transportation.
It is a shame that such cars are either too expensive or outclassed by range. This new fiat would more than double my range as it is.
If we had functional slander/libel laws, Trump wouldn’t have ever been a public figure for long.
I love me some band books. Anything about The Stones or The Ramones really draws me in.
Yeah, we’re all gonna convince an entrenched bigot to change on the internet.
Counterpoint: you’re a fucking asshole and you and your bigoted logic can fuck off.
Yeah, I have a native prairie instead of a lawn, even though it is not that big. My city likes to cite native yards, especially in the fall and winter.
I love my yard and the pollinators and vertebrates love it too! Butterflies, bees, birds, bats, fireflies, snakes etc etc. It is good to see them thrive in this little space.
Businesses with a religious dogma that makes victims out of people for needing healthcare.
Ahh, time is collapsing on me. My bad.
Yeah, we all know that. It is still broken.
