I feel like it’s the working class who forgot.

The rich are well aware, which is why they put so much energy into making us think that isn’t an option.

I wonder if them gunning down union protesters would be suddenly legal if needed.

It already is with regular protesters.

They just gotta kill one. They don’t want to kill their entire work force. They just want to subjugate them.

“Redress.” It’s “redress of grievances,” not “address.” They can have similar meanings, but they aren’t quite synonyms.

“Redress” is typically used when referring to correcting or remedying a wrong or injustice. It implies a sense of compensation or restitution for something that has gone awry. For example, if a customer receives a faulty product from a company, they may seek redress by asking for a refund or replacement.

“Address,” on the other hand, is a more general term that refers to dealing with or attending to a particular matter. It can be used in a variety of contexts, from addressing a letter to addressing a problem. It doesn’t necessarily imply any wrongdoing or injustice.

Yes. That’s precisely my point. Thanks for spelling it out.

Shit France is already leading the way this century and showing us weak Americans how protests are supposed to be done. No one protests like the French protest.

I keep blocking work reform pages but more keep popping up from different instances. Is there a way to globally block any instance that contains a specific word or phrase?

I mean, each to their own, but do you have a greivance with workers collectively backing themselves and their colleagues?

(In answer to your question, as far as I know you have to block communities one by one. The only other alternative would be to view only your subscribed communities)

I have no grievance with them, I just don’t care for the grievances they share with their employers. It was easy on reddit since it was just one sub I had to filter but here they keep popping up.

Maybe they keep popping up because it’s such a huge problem.

I love how the tankies are going to get all these instances shut down.

The tankies have been on lemmy longer than anyone else (and helped develop it I guess?) And they are still around. The normal instances have defederated from them and no one has to interact with them, but they still exist.

Whether you consider it a pro or a con, there are no advertisers terrified of negative brand association here, and the only way an instance gets shut down is if it gets caught hosting explicitly criminal content.

Lastly this isn’t a tankie. Tankies are insanely pro-military, obsessed with nationalism (for places like china or russia usually), and one of their favorite pastimes is denying the negative history of their favorite “communists”.

This is just a dark joke about the history of how workers rights were originally fought for, in america and elsewhere. Look up the coal wars.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
