A page for the italian anti workers. I'll post it in the next post, because i don't know why the bots consider this post spam, without any apparent reason Potrebbe esserci, in Italia (come in qualsiasi altro pese europeo) la percezione che antiwork sia qualcosa di solo “americano”, che non ha niente a che fare con l'europa, qualche moda del momento dagli USA che svanirà presto. Non è così ovviamente, è qualcosa in cui qualsiasi paese è coinvolto e che non va percepito come qualcosa di “lontano da noi”. Condividete esperienze, confrontatevi e discutete di tutto quello che rientra nell'ambito del lavoro e del nostro sistema sociale ed economico. ————————————————————————————————————————————— There could be, in Italy (like in every other european country) the perception that antiwork is something only “american”, that has nothing to do to europe, some trend of the moment from the USA that will soon vanish.

Question about asking for a raise
So I’m 21 and trying to save up enough to move my girlfriend and myself out of her house and I’m making $16.50 (I’ve been in the $20’s at other jobs) but I’m working for a temp agency and about to get hired on and thru the grape vine I’ve heard that they give a tiny bump upon hire but won’t negotiate more, their words were “if you don’t like the amount there’s the door” and I felt like I was in a comfortable position to ask for $18-$20 upon hire (as it’s a struggle just to save a decent amount of money every month) but now I feel like it’s a risky play as they could just tell me to walk… what do I do?
I worked a coupe of days of approved OT, now my job is saying I have to call off because they stopped OT after I worked it. So I have to call off so I won't go into the OT I've already worked.
Here's a great place to watch in real time as inequality grows in America. Friend sent me this and I immediately knew where to post it on Reddit! https://realtimeinequality.org/
What does everyone think of Bernie?
I’m kind of curious, and would like to know what everyone’s opinion on him is
Should I ask for more money?
We have been shortstaffed for the last few months. I work at a satellite site, scheduling my own appointments at a nonprofit. I have been asked to work at our main site one full day a week to help with the staffinf gap. Does this seem warranted to ask for a raise? I am doing the same duties. But for the inconvenience of having to be pulled from my office, leaving my clients, I do feel like I should be compensated until they no longer need me. For the next two weeks I am the only staff person on schedule to do the duties I do on that one day of the week. Do you think I have a leg to stand on?
Looking for book recommendations
I'm looking for book recommendations from marxism to modern literature on Anti Work (basically anything people from this reddit may find interesting).
Company sus about workers comp
I work at a warehouse that manufactures vinyl and aluminum fencing products and sells to contractors, companies, etc. We have a lot behind the warehouse, kind of like a backyard if you will, filled and with our products. Well where I’m at (Midwest USA) there is still a lot of snow on the ground and more importantly, a TON of ice. My small 4’11 (149.5 cm) older Hispanic coworker goes outside to get something and ends up slipping and falling due to the ice. Goes to urgent care and has a hairline fracture in her hand at the base of her thumb. Our safety manager basically avoided talking to her, having me translate, and never asked if she was okay. Had to hunt him down for an incident report paper. They take advantage of the fact that she doesn’t speak English. Then they kept telling her not to bother with…
