Labour Strikes on Mega Corps…..
What if for example everybody who worked at walmart across the united states just decided to form the Walmart America union, and refuse to work until salaries were reasonable. The people technically have more power the corporations if they unite. Lets take over Walmart, with a collective union. The time of the Waltons making bank while the workers are on food stamps should be over. Lets target corporations with united labour movement. 6 figure salaries should not be reserved for tech bros and hedge fund kids. 6 figure salaries should be for everybody who makes this world function.
Parental obligations before work

I was originally pregnant with twins and one isn’t going to make it. Needless to say it’s been tough on me and hard to process. Right after I got that news, me and my 1 1/2 yo got diagnosed with Covid.

Why have me pick a time if you're not going to have the decency to call at that time. I've got a new rule now that if you're more than 15 minutes late, I won't pick up the phone. Time is valuable, and you're wasting mine. Funny how executives always say time is money but then treat employees like they have an infinite amount of it. When they say time is money, what they really mean their time is worth more than yours.

We remain committed to supporting New Zealanders by raising their wages, as we continue to recover and rebuild from the pandemic,” Wood said in a statement. “Raising the minimum wage will directly benefit approximately 300,000 workers, and will help many households that have been most impacted by the effects of COVID.
