My city broke records for homeless shelter usage last winter, yet we have the country’s second lowest unemployment rate.

Panhandling is more rampant than I've ever seen in my life. Homeless camps that never existed before are sprouting up. Something is seriously wrong with this country in terms of job security, wages, and housing costs if one of the best cities to live in is still having an epidemic of homelessness. Take action, if your workplace doesn't have a union yet, find resources to start one, because everyone's long-term livelihood is at stake. Don't sacrifice yourself for temporary security anymore. https://aflcio.org/strike-map https://www.teamstersjc42.com/organizing/

Oh great — healthcare and 401(k) plans are probably going to be the next things to be cut everywhere.

Supervisor re-writes all of my work and it is very de-moralizing and hurts my self-esteem

I have a micromanaging boss at a small company. He is intrusive in every department. I have been there 6 months and He is constantly re writing my work and I’m like why did you hire me then? I’m not bad at my job. My immediate supervisor doesn’t have too many changes. I haven’t had this much editing done to my work in any other job.

Need help with a problem.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but hopefully someone can at least point me to the right place. I work in a field that is unionized, though it is not currently required to be a member of the union (I want to keep this vague, because although my reddit is a throwaway, too many details could give away my info/location). Approximately 25% of the people who work for my employer are in the union. Recently, a mixed group of coworkers (union and not) have been feeling like we were not properly being represented by our union, who is supposed to represent paying and nonpaying members alike. We have created a group of people requesting a raise from our higher-ups. We have done so by attending meetings with higher-ups and having people send letters to board members stating how our inadequate pay has negatively affected our…

My store keeps upping our goals knowing that we are unlikely to reach them, that also means less bonus for workers.

I work in a small retail store that consists of 4 people. We have plenty of foot traffic somedays and it gets slow on others. We have a pre-made goal for the day that our store is supposed to reach. We used to make goal all time, getting us a good bonus and so on. Now they have tremendously upped our goals to clearly get rid of our bonus. For example, today's goal is $3435. That doesn't sound like a lot but last year on the same day, we only made $2592. They have literally given us a goal of $4000 on a Sunday, in which we only made $1500.
