If im getting union wages I can do both
How much do your union busting consultants cost Delta?
I bet it is a fuckload more than that.
@supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz They could buy us even more games
This is what literally popped into my head when I read the blatant anti-union propaganda.
I swear to all the fucking gods, I’m contrarian enough that even if I were anti union, this shitty attempt at manipulation would make me jump on board.
Like, fuck, don’t insult my fucking intelligence like that
I know craftsmen who could certainly build one for cheaper than that…
look man, I’ve tried those cheap Algerian knockoffs - most of the time, you’re lucky if you get 2 or 3 Marquees under the fucker before it starts warping, much less taking it onto the bourgeoise pigs and their fat necks.
Don’t be fooled, you get what you pay for here.
Everyone’s got a guillotine guy
Its a shame no one puts a sticker that says Union dues are like an investment that will pay off in dividends way above 700
Right? What kind of union isn’t benefiting their members to the tune of $700 a year? Especially one that’s charging those kinds of dues should well be able to.
wait, i cannot tell if this is real. it’s to absurd to be real but it’s also american so i’m lost
It’s sadly real. From a few years ago. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-48225646
For whoever reported this as Anti-Union Propaganda, you are correct. However, this post has been approved because it’s blatantly awful as a piece of propaganda. Anyone who thinks that this post provides a convincing argument, please add your comment to the thread to promote discussion. :)
Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.
Bunch of fucking wankers.
I feel like if I worked someplace that put up that sign I would go study to become a plumber. Infuriating.
I worked for a summer at Staples. They actively discouraged unionization.
If there ever was a sign that you probably need a union… This is it.
They had a whole video that was anti-union which was “training” material.
Home Depot did the same thing when I worked there ages ago. There were even questions afterwards to ensure our
complianceunderstanding.Walmart was the same.
With the retroactive salary increase my union just got me, I could buy several gaming systems. [meme of dude tapping his head]
Huh, it’s apparently called “Roll Safe”: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/roll-safe
Ok but here’s the thing… you can regicide the price of the union with the company and hand the company pay for most of your union dues and realistically 700/year isn’t bad for job security, higher wages, better hours and better benefits aswell as various other things that not being in a union would be impossible. This union busting is madly illegal and really fucked up. Hate US companies
Big corporations actively campaigning against you doing something like this is always a pretty safe bet that the opposite of what they want is in your interest.
You know who I trust to tell me how to live my life? Big faceless corporations. They obviously want what’s best for me more than they care about their bottom line.
Coincidentally, unions might be the only things that could still save the AAA side of the games industry…
I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.
I’d expect more unionization to mechanically reduce games scope by increasing workers hourly compensation. And progressively remove authority from the MBA guys through giving more power to the devs
That works for me. I’ve come to appreciate games that keep it short but tight over long games full of filler.
