Say what you will about the New York Times tech guild strike. The demands are a bit crazy (no scented candles...?), but the idea that there's not enough protections even for those who work in tech jobs in journalism is wild.

This company makes an interesting argument: that the way to help employees get way more than a small raise and other demands met is to introduce something entirely new. Not quite a pension, but it seems like it.

Anyhow, feels relevant to this sub and wanted to get the community thoughts here.

Disclaimer: My apology if this isn't the right place to post this, but think it's relevant to the labor vs capital battle and is related to unions so hoping it's ok.

You read it right. My boss is slippery and tricky and sneaky. I don't know exactly how to deal with that. She's also as control freak and passive aggressive.

At hand is Reasonable accommodation. She's kind of side stepping the accommodation (no surprise there). But then she gaslights me. And acts like it's me that is causing communication mis steps. It's her though. Through and through.

The U.S. added only 12,000 jobs in October, a stark contrast to September’s 223,000. Major disruptions like hurricanes and a prolonged Boeing strike played a significant role in this slowdown. In fact, 46,000 factory jobs were lost to strikes alone. Despite these challenges, the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, indicating that the labor market holds some resilience. Economists had expected job gains to be around 120,000 for October, but the numbers came in far below projections, with broader economic implications as the U.S. nears Election Day.
