RE: https://mastodon.social/@Knoebel/117514981042833431 this is huge. when i was a college prof, found myself in university meetings where Rockstar Games was propped up as not just the future for a new creative class of workers in #NYC but a UNIONLESS creative class. for the clueless: Rockstar Games created the Grand Theft Auto franchise. it’s not just one of the biggest franchises in gaming industry, but also one of the most revolutionary. one example: they blew up GEOMAPPING tech waaaay before Google Maps. #games #unionStrong #labor

RE: https://mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/117002494844557544 Good Time Labour suffered for what they've done to Trans People, theyre worse than the Tories! Also, the Labour Party is misogynistic as fuck #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Labpur #UnionStrong #UKPol #UKpolitics
Quoting
RT: @LukeAlsford EXCLUSIVE: Powerful Labour unions will boycott the party’s women’s conference this year in protest at the ban on trans women. Unison, Aslef, Usdaw and the Musicians Union will not attend Labour Women’s Conference in September over the exclusion of trans women from formal business at the event. The unions are among Labour’s largest financial backers and say the all-women event in Liverpool breaches their policies on trans inclusion.

Request for info by my #union to ask my department for pay, raises & bonuses has been sitting with no response since May. I get that the union has some heavy lifting to do but I’ve got evidence that management is blocking our reclassifications, promotions & pay equity increases. As a dues paying member, I just fired off a fiery yet professional email, not just to my union rep who oversees my unit, but to the Secretary-Treasurer & the President of our union. 1/2 #unionstrong

Sometimes, being a bitch is the only way I get taken seriously. I don’t know if it’s because I seem friendly or if it’s because I’m short… but it gets on my tits. I got an immediate email that the Sec-Tresurer will follow up on this. This is actionable so something better start moving. 2/2 #union #unionstrong

Hell yeah. Of course I'm biased: recently my union helped me negotiate for nearly 10k/year before taxes over the original employment offer. The $25 ish nzd monthly fee more than justifies that alone. Join your union, and party vote green. 💚 Green Party to take automatic union membership bill to the election | Stuff https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361006822/green-party-take-automatic-union-membership-bill-election #NZPol #UnionStrong #voteGreen
