Workplace Injury Attorney USA: Protect Your Rights

A workplace injury attorney is key in protecting workers’ rights after a job injury. If an employee gets hurt at work, a lawyer can help them get fair pay for their injuries. They guide through the claim process and deal with insurance companies. lawyer In the U.S., workers hurt on the job might get benefits like medical costs and lost wages. A lawyer can explain their rights and options. They…

The fact that most European companies treat their non-European employees like shit- despite the fact that Western Europeans enjoy the highest level of workers' rights in the world- just because they can get away with it in the United States or whatever is proof why regulations are needed.

European workers are only treated better than their American counterparts because there are laws protecting them, not because European corporations are so much more humanitarian than American companies. Never forget that under capitalism companies will exploit you for all you're worth and all they can legally get away with.

Anyway if you really wanna see me go off later remind me to talk about the fucking assholes trying to blame economic problems on immigration rather than the temporary foreign worker permits because I learned about that last week and I am MAD

Wild how literally every problem plaguing Canada at the moment boils down to corporations saying “hey would you mind if we just don’t follow these labour laws” and the government saying “yeah sure”

Fucking absurd

(Short form: immigrants pay taxes and contribute to the local economy and are basically free adults and workers you did not have to pay childcare or wait for them to grow up and are great

Temporary foreign worker permits were issued to bail out companies who “couldn’t find” local labour - because they refused to offer reasonable wages or benefits, or just plain didn’t want to risk Canadians calling out unsafe labour practices - and let them “temporarily” bring in people from other countries who do not know our labour laws and would accept worse conditions

They’re also not allowed to properly apply for permanent visas and shit to become immigrants because The Bullshit™️ levels are off the fucking charts. Come over to be exploited but oh you’re not allowed to stay?

This is why no one could find a job despite all the places “hiring” in 2022 and SO MANY companies are finally being fined for abusing the system but not enough to make them fucking stop)

most abled people's "simple surefire" suggestions for how to meet new people make me understand why they don't have any disabled friends or don't think of us as anything but an abstract concept, or else the barriers to entry would be hyper-conscious in their minds

Self employment tip: you HAVE to have solid boundaries. If you don’t, people will walk over you. Money won’t mean much if you’re completely burnt out by never saying no.

dont get me wrong i love that fukuzawa is all about personal freedom, including with his employees, but let us not kid ourselves that this personal freedom comes at the cost of tanizaki and kunikida's mental and physical wellbeing 👀

yosano and dazai (him to a lesser extent, but the way he treats kunikida is like ??? yo shachou...you're just gonna let that happen to your devoted employee? ok ok sure) are kinda seriously off-leash in the WORST way???

and like, YEAH it's funny as a reader but like......your employees deserve to not be harassed into panic attacks on company premises...and also possibly...PERHAPS...correct me if *I'M* being the asshole here...the option to NOT DIE without being brutally tortured...

like...maybe you should...step in...my guy...my dude...

i don’t think my workplace does a very good job standing up for its lgbt employees and i thought about bringing that up to administration but i don’t really know what to say other than that it makes me uncomfortable how quick they are to censor lgbt material because it makes a small percentage of the community upset

Boss sent a text to me and like 3 other people asking for shipping updates that we are all already aware of him being anxious for and would have updated him on when we got to our desks and, you know, were able to check on the status.

Like... my brother in Christ it is 7am please go touch some fucking grass.

[frankierohugejorts]

If anyone has taken their eyes off what's happening to federal workers in the US right now, here's some highlights that we're hearing from our comrades across the government who have not yet been fired:

In one building (hosting multiple agencies), the locks on the bathroom were changed so employees no longer have any access to a bathroom during the workday. People are peeing in trash cans.

Elsewhere, multiple agencies have reported that hand soap is no longer being supplied in the bathrooms.

Toilet paper supplies have not been adjusted to meet the needs of a vastly increased number of in-office employees.

Employee-owned coffee and coffee makers have been stolen or thrown away without notice (it was already illegal for taxpayer dollars to be spent on supplying federal employees with amenities like coffee, so many offices have coffee supplied by pooled employee funds).

Meanwhile, many offices don't even have potable drinking water (recurrent legionella outbreaks), so employees have to bring their own water from home.

Despite an explosion in the number of workers in offices, cleaning budgets have been slashed and many offices are not being cleaned regularly enough to remain sanitary. Pests like roaches and rats are a problem.

The firings continue, legal and illegal. Entire programs are being cut. Managers have no idea when they might lose staff. Employees are getting fired at 6pm on a weekend or finding out when they're unable to log into their computer or when they receive a shipping label in the mail to return their equipment.

Through all of this, the DOGE employees in federal workplaces are enjoying incredible and expensive luxury: AI-powered sleep pods, entire dormitories so they can live in federal buildings, nurseries for their children on site, free food and beverages, laundry services, and who knows what else. They have special security to restrict access to their areas of the buildings, including armed guards.

And I'm not just saying this to lament how bad it is for federal workers. I'm saying this because, as workers are reporting this to one another, the response is, inevitably: "This is illegal." "Yes, but who would I report it to? OPM? They're a DOGE puppet. OSHA? They've cut OSHA. The Inspectors General? Cut. The NLRB? Cut. My union? No longer recognized."

There is no one left to enforce these laws, so taking away access to basic sanitation is now effectively legal. They are doing this to federal workers, who historically have been some of the best-protected workers in the country. They are doing this specifically because it demonstrates to the public sector that it is now legal to do these things to their own workers.

someone asks me if i've seen the news lately. no, i haven't. i haven't had time, and if there's something i can take action about i'll find out at work

my colleagues and i have hushed strategy meetings about who's going to make sure the new guy knows that snitches get stitches and not to comply in advance

i wake up at 5:30 and read OPM memos in bed before work like the morning paper so i know what my meetings will be about

"what do you think implementation would look like?" i ask on autopilot upon receiving any new info

i am not in the right headspace to receive info that could possibly hurt me

"what other operations could that implementation impact? could any of those things be an unstated priority?"

"how do you think they plan on tracking compliance? how good do you think they'll be at it?"

i drip-feed rebellion

i engineer plausible deniability

i prepare for the worst

we hope for them to be lazy and incompetent

we hope that our questions aren't too pointed, too sensible, too obviously alerting them to the mistakes they're making

we try to play 4D chess while they eat the pieces

i call people to let them know they're being put on a list

i explain how to track potential damages

i celebrate a tiny moment of vindication about being right about something good (entitlement to severance pay)

i don't have time to watch severance but i reblog art anyway
