Capitalism is only sustainable through a system of violence and social control
I still have a copy of the t*rget team lead guide to dealing with union activity that I nicked from the office when I worked there, it’s mostly the same stuff but it also revealed just how much of their management tactics were intended to frustrate any unionizing activity. For instance, they said that cross-training in multiple departments was the best way to get reliable hours, and encouraged everyone to do it; according to the manual, however, it was their way of keeping departments mixed up and jumbled, making it impossible for any single department to unionize (and forcing anyone who wanted to unionize to get the entire store to do it).
And that’s just part what the store managers are taught. Throughout, it mentions holding off on action and consulting a labor relations officer in the company on how to proceed. Who knows what kind of shady shit the people a step above do?
If you’re in retail and wondering how to go about unionizing, contact an existing retail workers union.
They are all very familiar with the anti-union tactics of retail owners and managers, and will have some advice for you, some literature to distribute, and strategies to counter these tactics. It has historically been extremely hard for retail and fast food employees to unionize specifically because the owners and managers keep us scared, disorganized, and are happy to fire us for unionizing, labor laws be damned. Their entire business model hinges on us being overworked and underpaid. Contact a union for help organizing in your store.
If we could swap Boomer and Gen Z newborns, they would have grown to match their time.
What you do and what you become depends on nothing but context.
Every single person who blames younger generations for “the decline of the nation” is scapegoating, because they can’t admit to have once been just like they are, just born in a different context.
And guess what, you don’t control context, you adapt to it the best you can.
i have never once seen any millennial claim gen Z is ruining america. everyone knows that its Y and boomers that are ruining the world.
do you mean X? because Gen Y is what Millenials is(in theory it’s thrown around a bit because old people like to bitch about kids these days). Millenials being used instead of Gen Y is one of those things I’m very adamantly pissed off about.
I meant gen X. gen X and baby boomers are destroying the world.
Gen Y is the same thing as Millenials. I think you mean Gen X.
i probably meant gen X. whatevers between millennial and baby boomers. basically the people who are still alive that were before the millennial generation are the ones ruining the world.
