“How does your captain treat you?”

This is the key question that crew asked when boarding a ship in the third age of Piracy.

This episode of WCH talks about that ritual question. For union members, the “voting on everything” bit might sound familiar, and we also have “quartermasters” whom we call auditors. See our statutes:

The video game actors' strike may be over soon, @theverge reports. SAG-AFTRA announced a tentative contract yesterday; the strike began almost a year ago after the union and a committee from companies including Activision, Epic Games and EA, failed to agree on worker protections around AI. Here's where things currently stand.

"They point out that there is nothing “part-time” in the language of the companion senate and house bills currently before lawmakers, which instead will permit unlimited working hours without breaks for 14- and 15-year-olds who are schooled at home or online, and allow employers to require 16- and 17-year-olds to work for more than six days in a row."

Are adults even allowed to work unlimited hours without a break, or have I just been spoiled by California?

On that same day, while you are there #HB487 would require employers to give people their schedule seven days before the payroll period starts.

if you have never had a flexible schedule you’ve probably never known the horror of not knowing what your schedule for the week will be until Sunday night before you have to show up in the morning. It’s unreasonable and it prevents people from having a life.

That’s in the labor committee on the 11th as well.

Please SUPPORT HB487

Repealing reasonable payroll periods will be heard on:

"Militant labor doesn't just protect labor rights – it protects human rights. Remember: MLK, Jr was assassinated while campaigning for union janitors in Memphis. LA teachers ended ICE sweeps at the school gates. Librarian unions are leading the fight against book bans.

The good news is that public opinion has swung wildly in favor of unions over the past decade. More people want to join unions than at any time in generations. More people support unions that at any time in generations.

The bad news is that union leadership fucking suuuuuuuucks. As Hamilton Nolan writes, union bosses are sitting on vast, heretofore unseen warchests of cash, and they just experienced a four-year period of governmental support for unions unheard of since the Carter administration, and they did fuck all with that opportunity:"

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether #classaction #lawsuits can be filed on behalf of #employees whose #hourlyrates may have been #illegallyreduced when they #worked #overtimehours.

Federal and state #laborlaws mandate that an #employee’s #overtime #rate must be at least one-and-a-half times their regular #payrate.

The Japanese government will define the practice of companies forcing workers to use their own money to buy in-house products to reach their sales quotas as a form of power harassment in guidelines based on a labor measures promotion law. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/26/japan/crime-legal/japan-labor-law-power-harassment/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #laborlaws #powerharassment #mhlw

I'm currently reading Rules to Win By in an attempt to upskill at movement organizing. I knew going in that this book would mostly be focused on organized labor and union building, but I have so far been pleasantly surprised with the amount of direct references to organizing for #climate.

So far it seems like this book aims to take a ruthless approach to building power and negotiating contracts. I imagine I'll finish it feeling like it should be required reading for everyone to deal with what's ahead.
