If im getting union wages I can do both
Work Reform
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
How much do your union busting consultants cost Delta?
I bet it is a fuckload more than that.
@supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz They could buy us even more games
This is what literally popped into my head when I read the blatant anti-union propaganda.
I swear to all the fucking gods, I'm contrarian enough that even if I were anti union, this shitty attempt at manipulation would make me jump on board.
Like, fuck, don't insult my fucking intelligence like that

I know craftsmen who could certainly build one for cheaper than that...
Its a shame no one puts a sticker that says Union dues are like an investment that will pay off in dividends way above 700
wait, i cannot tell if this is real. it's to absurd to be real but it's also american so i'm lost
For whoever reported this as Anti-Union Propaganda, you are correct. However, this post has been approved because it's blatantly awful as a piece of propaganda. Anyone who thinks that this post provides a convincing argument, please add your comment to the thread to promote discussion. :)
Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.
Bunch of fucking wankers.
I feel like if I worked someplace that put up that sign I would go study to become a plumber. Infuriating.
I worked for a summer at Staples. They actively discouraged unionization.
If there ever was a sign that you probably need a union... This is it.
They had a whole video that was anti-union which was “training” material.
Home Depot did the same thing when I worked there ages ago. There were even questions afterwards to ensure our ~~compliance~~ understanding.
With the retroactive salary increase my union just got me, I could buy several gaming systems. [meme of dude tapping his head]
Ok but here’s the thing… you can regicide the price of the union with the company and hand the company pay for most of your union dues and realistically 700/year isn’t bad for job security, higher wages, better hours and better benefits aswell as various other things that not being in a union would be impossible. This union busting is madly illegal and really fucked up. Hate US companies
Big corporations actively campaigning against you doing something like this is always a pretty safe bet that the opposite of what they want is in your interest.
You know who I trust to tell me how to live my life? Big faceless corporations. They obviously want what's best for me more than they care about their bottom line.
Coincidentally, unions might be the only things that could still save the AAA side of the games industry...
I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.
This looks illegal
Not in Gringoland, nope. Union-busting behaviour is routine there. Something that is well documented and studied.
BTW: great username!
$700 lol 😆...I wish . Try $4500/year and worth every penny. GO UNION!!!
Union dues are tax deductible where I am, quick ddg says no in the US?
Work expenses are tax deductible.. Union dues are work expenses.. Same with safety equipment such as steel toe boots and FR clothing, uniforms etc
Delta pilots are unionized. Wide body captains are making over $700k/year
I can see why Delta doesn't want the rest of their employees unionizing. I don't see why they haven't
"Buy this thing so you don't notice while we take advantage of you."
I'm honestly surprised they aren't telling us to buy something Delta sells to complete the grift.
I'm pretty sure this falls under a railway labor act violation.
And yes, workers in aviation get lumped under the railway labor act when it comes to unionizing.
So $58.33 per month or like 3.65 McDonald's double Bacon quarter pounder with cheese meals per month.
It's always worth making sure the union is working in your interest and not wasting funds but beyond that the money will pay for itself generally speaking.
That's roughly what I pay and I just got two retroactive 3% raises and a massive increase in my benefits thanks to my union. My employer wanted to cut people or freeze pay and the union made them back down in everything. We got everything we wanted and didn't need to compromise... Worth every penny in union dues. I'll have a cheque for a few thousands dollars mid July now.
Unionize!
Not all unions are good but not having a union is typically far worse.
They think gamers are fucking stupid. It’s too bad they are right.
Really just people in general, not gamers in particular.
So what you're saying, is that Delta employees are so stupid, that they fall for this shit?
I joined a union after a previous manager started coming after me (cos they were a bit power mad) and I could only sue them when they fired me thanks to the union resources. Otherwise, I would have had to leave fuming but powerless like everyone else had. Unions are totally worth it!
At ny last union job the dues were only around $250/year.
I love how this (old) image feels like something out of dystopian fiction.
I could see it on the wall in Half Life 2, or Deus Ex. Not Cyberpunk 2077 'cause they wouldn't need it.
Uniona are kinda a strange duck. Employers hate them, but technically shouldn't care because if they were in fact not trying to fuck you constantly then unions wouldn't get people very far.
On the other hand as a union worker myself, I've seen some of the laziest biggest pieces of shit not get fired because we're union. So it isn't sunshine and rainbows for either side.
I'd rather some lazy fucker gets to live comfortably with a living wage like anyone else than some lazy rich fucktard gets to live super duper comfy while everyone else suffers. Theres always low performer for whatever reason (its rarely pure lazyness), a healthy society can carry them.
