Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yeah I think Costco said something like "I'm disappointed they felt like they needed a union" in response to a shop organizing which in 2024 is good enough for me to buy a membership.

A co-op is even better if you can find one that isn't too bougie. They exist in places you might expect like Vermont and California, but also places like Wisconsin.

This is bad! I don't know the first thing about fuck about Costco but this is bad! You always need a union, your material interests don't align and you are stronger when you organize!

Yes, correct, but in 2024 in America, this is as pro-union as any grocer is, aside from co-ops.

Yeah every company says that when their workers try to unionize

It's along the same lines of "we're all family here"

"You don't need a union, you can always come talk about your grievances to one of our friendly managers :)"

Just another mechanism to veil the class antagonism (don't want workers getting any ideas about how they're on one side and their boss is on another side)
