Since most of you guys may be Americans, this thread may not apply to you, however I want to share my personal experience after I left my job and started to work the German state. My last boss wasn't a dick as most of your bosses are, but I hated the job nontheless. Shitty work and shitty pay. I quit and was unemployed for quite a while. Months later I applied for a job at a German state administration – basically I'm one of the guys who decides whether a refugee is allowed to stay in the country or not. It's emotionally quite demanding to listen to all of their stories, but on the plus side there are big benefits: – great pay (compared to working hours, etc) – 39h a week, meaning 7:48h a day + 30 min break you have to take – 30 days of (payed) vacation,…

So I work(Ed) at a non chain but Mildly fancy steak house. All used to be grand I used to get dinning room and lounge shifts then the gm left and before I knew it I was always in the lounge which you’ll make like half the money. So I got a few shifts in the dinning room again finally I was pushed during a rush like shoved by the new gm and she threatened to send me home for standing up for myself telling her not to touch me…. It’s been now about 6 months all of my friends are moving on to better things except a small few remaining and I just got hired today at a chain seafood restaurant I couldn’t be happier to leave that toxic ass place behind but yet because of how easy going it is there I feel it’s hard to let it…

So I have started to work at a company that does private security and in Canada the company offers union benefits and sign ups but my station is in the US branch of the company I am a US citizen so that's why I'm on the US side but is it possible that the US side is under the same union umbrella or does it stop once it crosses the border. I've never been in a union job so I'm at a total loss

All of us here in this subreddit, that vast majority of the enslaved “working class” are looking for ways to truly chip away at the institutions that perpetuate and profit from our current “free market” system. We spend far too much time hating working class republicans, small businesses, and those just trying to make a living (and yes, there is alot to hate there). We need to spend more time constructively chipping away at the financial institutions that enslave us. That's enough with my preaching. Here are some pragmatic ways to go after the BANKS, the institutions who cause the boom-bust business cycle, the institutions who are largely responsible for Institutional Racism, I can go on and on. Let's start by cancelling the banks. They leverage the black struggle through the BLM movement to market their bank as “black friendly” while they simultaneously discriminate through lending practices. They leverage they…

First off, there’s a ton a of shit companies out there who suck to work for. How about the companies who actually value their employees? Who truly pay a competitive salary, have a good benefits package, and want you to retire with them? How about companies who have a pension. Even more of a plus if they do this without you having to form a Union against them. These companies exist. Let’s recognize them, and hold other companies to the same standard.
