- Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. 5 hours ago:
America was built on treating the worker badly. Most of the first people that came here were either slaves or indentured servants. Now we have prison slavery and wage servitude.
The only thing that has ever really improved in American labor is actual safety standards for work environments, equipment, etc. We do a great job of prioritizing that. But actual workers are viewed as expendable, and many of the largest employers are just meat grinders even if they offer half-decent benefits. Walmart is a good example of that
- Comment on "Whole Foods lost, the workers won": NLRB officer sides with union in certification fight 2 days ago:
Aldi is also widely regarded as a place that treats workers well, albeit below a co-op level of good. But considering its a German company its no surprise that they tend to have above average pay and benefits for workers.
The best move for Amazon would probably have been to start their own model of wage-slaver grocery mart
