Had an excellent gym just now. Thanks to having had a remote worday today.
There is chatter in the workplace on pulling back on remote work now. I for one won't work if that happens, full stop.
Been poor long enough to know how to survive without a lot of money. There are a lot of things worth more than that.
We have this one life, time is our most valuable possession. Let's stop selling it away so cheap.

As a former employee who was affected by last months layoffs at Stack, I will refrain from offering my own thoughts and opinions. Recent changes to policy were made after I was laid off, and I have no knowledge of the company's non-public actions.
However, I'm an incredibly strong believer in #CollectiveBargaining , #WorkersRights , and the power of #OrganizedLabor. I will not be crossing their virtual picket line as a show of support to their right to organize.

@joehumphrey Thank you for further context. And further philosophical food for thought.
"A lot of oversharing of overtly sexual stuff with his employees..."
Isn't it funny how being paid allows us to tolerate what we otherwise would not? Work for many people is a different space, a different experience, than any they'd otherwise choose—and it transforms them into somebody they might not otherwise like.
Additionally, let's observe that words are very powerful. As writers and authors and speechwriters, we are well aware of that. Readers, or the audience for the spoken word... not so much.

Amazon workers in Coventry, England, are on the brink of historic union recognition. Their groundbreaking organising campaign shows that it is possible to fight back against injustice – even in the most hostile of environments.
Taj Ali writes in #Tribune on why the battle to unionise #Amazon matters.

https://tribunemag.co.uk/2023/06/why-the-battle-to-unionise-amazon-matters
My grandfather was with the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union, which no longer exists due to union busting in the 80s. I remember when they organized strikes against the robber barons of E Ky at the cracking plant in Catlettsburg (at the time owned by Semet Solvay, then Allied Chemical, then Armco. A cracking tower is a place where chemicals are distilled out of fossil fuels using huge boilers that break the molecules, which sort themselves out by weight in the stack & are collected). When he finally retired, my grandfather said he expected the unqualified, inexperienced people being hired would blow up the boilers in six months.
They blew it up in three.
He died of cancer a short time later, never seeing my youngest son.
I tried to google the event to see if there were online records. I saw that another similar explosion at a plant happened...in January of this year.
Nothing has changed in 40 years, because the unions are weakened, or eliminated.

![Rav Kook lived at around the same time, and was the first Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine. He, too, said workers of the world, unite! In his way:
Within the workers' organization, which is formed for the purpose of guarding and protecting the work conditions, there is an aspect of righteousness and uprightness and tikkun olam (repairing the world). The workers' organization may sue both the employer and the worker who causes this [problem], for unorganized labor brings damage and loss of money to workers. For the unorganized worker works under worse conditions, both in regard to wages and in regard to working hours, etc. And this is likely to make working conditions worse in general.
Of course, Jews were right on the forefront of the labor movement of early 20th c. America.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/cache/media_attachments/files/110/459/340/307/494/238/small/5f09deadd81599ca.png)
Workers are both permitted and encouraged to form unions and to organize against employers who do not provide adequate living wages.
![Ben Zion Chai Uziel was born in Jerusalem in 1880 and became the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of first British Mandatory Palestine in 1939, and of Israel from 1948 until his death in 1953. In one place, he wrote:
In order to protect themselves the law gave [the worker] the legal right to organize, and to create regulations for their fellows for the fair and equitable division of labor amongst them and the attaining of dignified treatment and appropriate payment for their work….in order that the individual worker not be left on his own, to the point that they hires themselves out for a low wage in order to satisfy his hunger and that of his family with a bit of bread and water and with a dark and dingy home.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/cache/media_attachments/files/110/459/276/510/217/269/small/05a46a83dac63e42.png)
Even the appearance of exploitation or a situation in which there is a high probability of injury or exploitation is not permitted.
![And this idea about employers’ obligations transcending the letter of the law was heard through the centuries:
Rabbi Saul Berman wrote:
There is an apocryphal tale told about Rabbi Israel Salanter, the [19th. C. Lithuanian] founder of Judaism’s Mussar [ethics] movement. Every year before [Passover], Rabbi Salanter would inspect matzah bakeries to check their kashrut/kosher status. One confident owner couldn’t wait to show off how efficient his matzah production had become. When Rabbi Salanter finished the inspection, though, he declared that the bakery was in violation of the halakhic/Jewish legal prohibition against blood in food. “Your sense of efficiency, together with the unacceptable demands placed upon your workers, shows that their blood is mixed into the food produced in this bakery,” he said. Even though the blood was purely metaphoric, Rabbi Salanter would not certify the kashrut of the matzah.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/cache/media_attachments/files/110/459/256/777/815/116/small/037e421d2904ec72.png)
Refusing to pay cash for labor or overtime is also a violation of Torah, as well as holding workers responsible for the cheap materials and poor facilities you provide.
![The sources go after this principle, in different ways, again and again.
For example: You can’t make workers take their work out in trade if they haven’t agreed to it.
If one hires a worker to work with straw and hay, and then the worker says, “Give me my wages” and the employer says, “take what you have done (namely, the straw and hay) as your wages,” we do not listen [to the employer] (Mishnah Bava Metzia 10:5)
And The Midrash (Sifra, Leviticus 86; Midrash Hagadol, Leviticus 25:39) explains that the verse:
Do not rule over [a servant] with rigor; but fear your God. (Leviticus 25:43)
means that one is not permitted to make a servant engage in degrading work, perform work that has no purpose (i.e., "busy" work), or carry out a task without a defined limit (e.g., "hoe until I return" when it’s unclear when the person’s coming back.)
And indeed, when one of the wealthier rabbis—a wine trader—tried to be petty and collect for damages incurred on the job—his colleagues ensured that his workers were not only not held liable, but that they were paid for their labor nonetheless.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/cache/media_attachments/files/110/459/239/527/444/032/small/7cc788a9dbd00bd9.png)

There is a strike on public transport going on today. I support workers' rights, unions and strikes completely, and I can usually plan around it. I hadn't realised this one was today though. Fortunately I saw it a few hours before my appointment, so I managed to get here in time.
I wish workers could get rights without bothering chronically ill people. As if people in power care about us. As long as car-driving managers can get to work, there is no emergency, duh. Maybe public transport workers could use their busses to block the parking lot of the golf clubs or something.

@stux If a business makes $40 bn a year that has 7000 employees, an equal division would be $5.71 mn per employee per year. Obviously, there’s overhead & expenses to be added into that equation but when you consider many huge corporations in #usa pay no tax, pay less than $20 an hour to most employees, no benefits & huge CEO bonuses …… #capitalism #inequity #socialism #workersrights
