Delta of all companies
Living in Europe means it was my boss who helped me get into a union for my first job. Unions are important.
No time to play video games (or any), but already unionized.
I’ve got a proper union gig for the first time. I love it! Good benefits, decent pay. But the best part is having a union rep in your corner. I recently had a disagreement with management, took it to my rep, and viola! A reasonable result was achieved with a minimum of fuss. Was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone should unionize!!!
Not that I was ever anti-union, but rather I work in an industry that has none. After coming back to work after a layoff, the daily grind has been an exercise in constant, agonizing, anxiety, as I have now experienced the horror of free-fall into an society with no safety net. I have seen the light. Having some additional insurance would feel really amazing right now.
What additional insurance does being non union offer? I’ve never had better insurance.
I believe you got that backwards
Ya, I think I did. Oops
Other than more job opportunities, zero. To be clear, I still would love the added insurance of having a Union at my back.
You pay 700 $ for the Union but get yearly pay raises and work benefits. For most people the benefits give you immidiatly more money than it takes.
I live in a country where over 90% of people work in an unionized environment.

For context, we have unions, but many of them have been co-opted by politicians or their flunkies.
If only people were taught that unions raise members wages.
would you rather have infinite video games and no union or no video games and no video games?
In Germany there are unions that have it so if you join them the company pays you more. Even though the union already has a fair payment contract in place.
Unions always have paid there way for me by better pay and conditions. Also, in Australia Union fees are tax deductible.
Their*
Still blows my mind that people confuse they’re, their, and there (along with your and you’re).
I have a learning disability, yet I figured this out 20 years ago; why hasn’t anyone else? I just don’t get it. Sorry for being a dick but it is beyond frustrating that people are still fucking this up somehow.
You are welcome to politely correct someone
Don’t be a jerk about it. This is victim blame.
Sorry for being a dick but it
Just stop then.
Between people on the internets lack of good grammar and common courtesy, the first one is a far smaller problem in my eyes.
For some people english is there 3rd or 4th language. Their can be a mistake here and they’re.
Tbf it’s mostly native speakers making this mistake I think
Upvoted butt this is sum hard two reed shit write hear.
Unionize and then you can buy more games.
AND have more time to play them!!!
The only job I ever had that was unionized, I really didn’t even notice the dues. I made so much more money than every other job I had, and I wasn’t even spending it because it was on a cruise ship where they fed me, clothed me, and gave me a place to sleep the whole 5 months. I had more money than I ever had at one time when I finally disembarked.
Yeah I’ve heard stories about cruise ships. Who absolutely do not want to work on one where the crew are not in a union. You are effectively trapped in the office 24 hours a day for months on end, there’s a lot of scope for abuse of personnel in that scenario.
Wait, I remember this in Henry V, France sends Henry V of England tennis balls You don’t want to take back continental English soil. You want to play sports at home!
The gift was not well received.
I remember this bit when Putin gave Trump a football, a gesture that Trump did not fully understand.
There are about 2000 working hours a year if you’re full time, so $700 works out to 35¢ an hour. If your union only gets you a 50¢/hr raise, it parts for itself.
Would you rather get endless hours of fun from a video game or blow the money on rent and never see it again?
