Jan VlugMy idea about how <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trade</a> agreements should be done by the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a>: All products imported into the EU should adhere to current and *future* EU regulations. EU regulations should enforce <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/workerrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workerrights</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/animalrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animalrights</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> change protection, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> responsibility, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/consumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consumer</a> rights and more. All who adhere to good practices should be welcome to sell without tariffs. Now let the EU work on improving regulations that support public values for the planet and all its inhabitants.

Vox and the Pack :Fire_Enby:Worker rights laws exist because those in power (aka "management") refuse to concede that their perspectives are just one valid perspective on what "success" means.Generally speaking their perspective is one that considers the basic assumptions capitalism posits as some kind absolute truths. As tenets that one *needs* to follow to be successful. And that leads to very little room for alternative but I'd argue equally valid perspectives.That's where worker rights come in. Germany for example empowers employees to establish an elected worker council. The members of this council cannot be fired and meet management on eye level. They can veto certain decisions and their input cannot be ignored (management needs to document that they are taking action).Management loves to tout open door policies. But they consistently fail to acknowledge that their view on "success" is by no means the only valid view. And that's why workers rights are necessary. Unless they prefer the lynch mob?<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/workerRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workerRights</a>

Ned YeungA reminder that it was only 3 days before 4,000 education workers in Edmonton Public, Fort McMurray Public, and Fort McMurray Catholic school districts reached a tentative agreement "higher than the original wage mandates imposed by the Alberta government", that Medicine Hat workers rejected a deal for a measly 3% annual wage increase which doesn't keep up with inflation, which their employer called a "final offer" (which is a bullshit line unless you intend on violating legislated labour laws).Now 3 days later, their bargaining position has completely changed. There is no way that the Medicine Hat school district can continue to hold out when 4,000 fellow Alberta education workers have won a fair contract and in the words of Alberta CUPE president Rory Gil, "finally won the respect they deserve".This is such an important lesson in solidarity and the power of collective action. This win will snowball and start a domino effect, ending strikes across Alberta with fair contracts for workers. We only have power when we stay strong and stand together.Understand that those 5 months (Fort Mac) and 2 months (Edmonton) that 4,000 education workers spent in abysmal deep freeze temperatures were a fight for all of our rights as workers to fair pay and respect, as the valuable force which keeps our society running. This was not just a win for those 4,000 deserving workers. It was a win for all of us.This is how all the labour laws and legislation which makes our working lives bearable have been earned. Health benefits, weekends, maternity leave, wage increases, reasonable working hours, overtime pay, paid holidays, vacation time, workplace standards, the right to refuse unsafe work, protection against discrimination. We owe it all to our steadfast union workers.Thank a union worker today.

Minerva ArcherSo over the last year of concussion recovery, I’ve had long stretches where I couldn’t look at screens. Consequently, I’ve listened to A LOT of podcasts, and I’ll be threading a list of my favorite episodes on unions and labor!
