#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.

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

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.

When you vote against ratifying your new contract but it gets passed through anyways

"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!

Man, I desperately hope all these entertainment workers get everything they're asking for and more. I originally was going to college for stage management/production for theatre but changed to graphic design once I realized how poorly paid and treated employees backstage/on set are. Its so inspiring to see theatre employees considering a strike now too
