Not quite sure why people here are that happy about it. If I understand this correctly then this isn’t even enough to cover current inflation, removes their right to strike for the next 6 years, has no hours-reduction, has no single payment to cover the past inflation. I don’t see how this is a win for workers. This seems like a huge win for the companies considering what else would have been possible.
11mg EEn every 14 days is a hell of a dose. I take 3mg every 7 days and am at around 200 pg/ml E2.
A bit off-topic, but is there any good communist manga that you could recommend?
I made the mistake a couple weeks ago to reply to a similar comment calling everyone who doesn’t vote for Biden because of the genocide a “redfash” and “tankie”. The amount of hatred some of them have towards other people instead of the system is insane. And the way they constantly make up new shit to “disprove” everything is too.
Who cares what these companies think is and isn’t fair? They created this inflation for the past years, they pay for it. And besides that, why do workers need to adhere to a past contract in their current demands? Continuing the strike for a one-time inflation-payment would have been the right choice for the workers, so the union should have done so.
Why does it need to be one or the other? That’s what capitalists want you to think. Why can’t it be an hour reduction and a pay increase together? That’s something that would be great for everyone. Only increasing pay or only decreasing hours is always going to split workers based on their current economic standing. Doing both not only strengthens all the workers, it also positively affects their companionship.
So because the minimum, mean and median wages have NOT increased nearly as fast as they should, we should… checks notes… not fight for better pay?
