Roughly the price of 1/2 a beer.
Unions work.

Sounds like the company can easily afford it then

My guess is that money claim from a place that has even more money.

The irony is you’re not wrong. Beers are literally $18 or $21 a pop at dodger stadium.

How long had their contract been expired? What was their wage before and after?

So I’m good not to tip now, right? Or was my $3 tip on $10 beer (before this raise) not good enough and I should have been tipping more at that time?
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you can be sure that the employees who would receive the tip are making at least a livable wage for the area that you are in, then sure, go ahead and not tip.
I personally don’t have time for that kind of research.

If you need the $3 don’t tip.
Maybe don’t pay for baseball tickets either if $3 is an issue.
Rediphile@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
You are upset with me for tipping 30% (before this whole raise thing)? The $3 isn’t an issue. I was just asking if it was enough or not.

Professional Air Traffic Controllers union [aka PATCO] was one of the few Unions that supported Ronald Reagan in 1980.
They went on strike after he took office, and he fired them all, and made sure they would never work again. The country was so desperate for controllers that they were hiring people with GEDs to take the training.
Reagan hated Unions, which was funny because he boasted of being a Union President [Screen Actors Guild.] While in that job, he helped the FBI spy on his membership.

I love how every new thing I learn about Reagan just further cements him as a complete total piece of shit lol

Lauren Hutton was a model/actress back in the 1970s. I once watched her on a talk show and she had an interesting take on Reagan. He was the long time host of a TV Western show sponsored by General Electric. Every week he’d do a commercial for GE refrigerators and every week America would see him standing next to an ice box full of food. Hutton pointed out that for people who’d lived through the Depression, that was a powerful image. Kind of like how Trump was sold as a genius businessman.
