Two weeks after workers at the company announced a union drive, Grindr management has issued a return-to-office policy that workers say is retaliatory.

Littler Mendelson is a law firm that says it specializes in “initiating strategies that lawfully avoid unions.”

What a shitty thing to specialize in. It’s a shame that anyone who works in that law office is able to sleep at night knowing that their specialty is screwing over labor.

Well. I can tell you they don’t give a damn. It’s just numbers for them. In the most bigger companies they see you as a replaceable unit and your job is developed that way, that someone else can take over easily.

Union-busting has been a job for over a century. And it’s always been one that attracted the scum of the Earth.

Executive #1: Our workers are unionizing, we need some retribution.

Executive #2: That’s illegal

Executive #1: Not if we punish all our workers

All executives: Genius! Give this man a raise!

This is part of the reason I’m so hesitant about switching jobs right now. If you don’t get laid off you’ll probably get forced back into the office to get people to quit without layoffs.

Shouldn’t Grindr of all companies know that if you invite a dude to your house that they probably aren’t actually going to show?

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.
