#contract bargaining

Really wish professional YouTubers caption their views more often. I understand captioning is very expensive, but at this point you really should be asking your sponsors to foot the bill for accessibility.

And it's not unprecedent. TV used to be like that. Bumpers like this will forever be etched into my memories:

Video description:

Old late '90s, early 2000s YTV bumper. A monster or alien-like being is sitting by a TV. Text on screen is narrated by an announcer: "Closed captioning brought to you by …" The alien thumps the top of the TV, causing the signal to change to a Coca Cola logo. Narrator continues "Cola Cola." Zooms into the logo.

If every YouTube video is gong to be sponsored, might as well put accessibility on the negotiation table before signing the contract.

Text: Contracts written in flesh and blood are the most powerfully binding of all. And if you don’t want to make a big mess, it turns out a tattoo of your terms also qualifies.

Hey Buttmunch!

I can explain what happened. What is happening.

The team owners are sending a message.

They own you.

Mikko was willing to take below his market rate. And they still traded him.

Because they want ALL OF YOU to know you are expendable.

The team owners are preparing for a showdown in the next round of negotiations.

They removed Trouba who was the team's representative.

They started rumors about Brady wanting to leave his team. He's his team's rep.

They started a rumor that Braaaaaaaad wasn't getting along with others in his locker room.

That's three Captains!

They couldn't touch Gabe because he's injured. They sure as Hell can't play their games with the league's #1, but they could sacrifice Mikko.

This is about weakening your collective bargaining powers.

Keep an eye out for the next Captain.

Your team owner, BTW.

A devil enters a fairy ring and pulls out a ridiculously large contract from their briefcase. "I've come to bargain."

Oh, to be a fly on the wall at red bull racing... Christian Horner is once again defending Charles

class consciousness is so stupid low among medical professionals. the amount of them that are willing to work and enforce systems that force their colleagues to work 90+ hours a week (putting them at risk, putting their PATIENTS at risk) because if they instead accept normal worker protections and demand that hospitals/governments hire more specialists for better coverage then they have to go from mid-high six figure earnings to like idk lower six figure earnings?

I’m just about to graduate from my mfa program & feeling such a turbulent rush of emotions—i feel like I’ve changed so much as a person over these two years but also feel so deeply still consumed by my perpetual loneliness & fear of the future

Copperhead is 100% dedicated to his job, going to great lengths to ensure success at whatever task his employer pays him to do. Even if somebody offers him a greater sum of money to spare them, he'll turn it down every time, preferring to complete his original contract as professionalism dictates. He'll kill anybody or steal anything for the right price but his one and only rule is never harm children, nor use them in order to get to his target/s.

was on a picket line today! i had a lot of time to really contemplate whether our chants were good life advice to distract myself from the fact that "the people united will never be defeated" does not rhyme, and is an insult to the original "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido"

anyway here are my top 4 union chants to internalize:

they don't like us // we don't care

yes. absolutely. don't place your self-value in other people's approval, an evergreen message.

when [x] is under attack, what do we do? // stand up fight back!

many of us did not have good rhythm, and no chant is better at highlighting that particular deficit than this one. it has a pickup, love it! almost as much as we love to defend our rights and the rights of the people we love :)

we feel good, we feel fine, when you don't cross picket lines

this one brings a fun guilt trip energy to your workplace. :( don't cross :( we'll feel sad :( :( (it was not particularly effective)

fuck you // pay us

satisfying.

"their decision to deprioritize" is a funny way of describing how employers leveraged the threat of plant closures to force unions to concede core provisions.

my contract ended for my internet and now i feel like a ping pong ball in a match between shaw and telus. i have 2 wifi routers in my house.

Something all flight attendants should consider regardless of what airline they are working for:

Groveling should never be a negotiating tactic.

Emotional appeals do not work at the negotiating table.

Ever.

Always remember this!

Thanks, Rock! Flight attendants everywhere adore you!
