thats awesome. agree with everything you said! its cool. i was a UPS driver and became a shop-steward at my building. then became an organizer in our amazon division. so ive mostly worked with truck drivers and warehouse workers. its extremely important work! also very difficult. these companies are very powerful and break the law A LOT

oh that's cool! UPS made some big wins recently, yeah? are there any challenges you've found working w the Amazon division? i've heard some horror stories abt the things Amazon does to suppress worker rights and I wonder if that spills over to UPS

we had a big contract campaign in 2023. i was very involved in that. was an exciting moment. there are a million challenges. to keep it simple: the turnover rate combined with amazon's willingness to illegally retaliate against workers for organizing makes organizing feel like building a house of cards

cuz i lowkey just dont wanna retake
soapy

When the fees for illegal retaliation are low enough, and when any punishment takes years to enstate, many companies just see those fines as the cost of doing business. Amazon is for sure like that

and later in life and/or ideally something in healthcare accessibility
jackfrost11770
13:49
reallt two can go hand in hand, especially working for companies such as pfizer which is one of the few companies that actually work towards access like suspending patents and funding manufacturing costs
jackfrost11770
13:49
but overall tbh, will have to shell out first (that sent, so early my bad)
jackfrost11770
13:50
but especially with the advent of technologies such as AI there will be massive ethical and legal issues in their development and implementation, so hopefully i'll be able to work in that field in a way that takes these considerations into account

As the next week brings an election, I challenge you to decide which side: won their primary despite receiving 0 votes, has the power of the elites, war mongers, media giants behind them, is endorsed by adversary V Putin, preferred by China, throws concerts instead of addressing voters. The choice is yours dear friend. -Kremlin Operative, KGB grad 1980
