I really wonder why the working class develops so much depth and beauty while the middle class, in love with itself, reads out its pronouns and still feels superior and despises the workers. #workingclass #middleclass #country #workers #south https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnnhgmH35j4

Workers are pushing for a $27 #minimum #wage at the #semiconductor plant, which they say is the minimum required to live in the #Beaverton area. They are currently paid around $21 an hour.

A Swiss court has sentenced four members of the wealthy Hinduja family to up to four years and six months in jail on Friday for exploiting their domestic workers.
Members of the family were accused of trafficking mostly-illiterate domestic workers from India, confiscating their passports, and forcing them to work 16-hour days in their Geneva villa without overtime pay.

All the press I've seen on this and everybody who has tooted about this in my news feed has missed the entire point of this move. It would mean that any number of hours in a week that exceeds 30 hours means getting paid overtime. All the companies who hire workers to work under 40 hours a week in order to avoid giving full-time employees the benefits that a full timer is entitled to, they hire under 40 per week to avoid calling their employees full timers. Etc.
Now get the fork back on track, you overpaid pencil pushers.

For more than eight decades, the rhythm of a 40-hour workweek has been a (mostly) common experience for workers of all stripes across America. But Sen. Bernie Sanders this week introduced a bill that would shorten the workweek to 32 hours — with the same pay and benefits. Would the reduction in hours threaten small businesses or be a boon to workers? If you're outside the U.S., what is the workweek like where you live? Read about the bill in this report from AP and share your thoughts in the comments: https://flip.it/7eMhc3#

The misleading assertion that #poverty causes #migration conceals the fact that #labour demand has been the main driver of growing immigration to western countries since the 1990s. More widespread #education, women’s #emancipation and #population ageing have led to labour shortages; these have fuelled a growing demand for #migrant workers in sectors such as #agriculture, #construction, #cleaning, #hospitality, #transport and food processing, as supplies of local #workers willing and able to do such jobs have increasingly run dry. Without such chronic labour shortages, most migrants wouldn’t have come.

Detained, tortured and banned: Workers from Gaza in Israel | The Take
DETROIT (AP) — About 13,000 U.S. auto workers stopped making vehicles and went on strike Friday after their leaders couldn’t bridge a giant gap between union demands in contract talks and what Detroit’s three automakers are willing to pay.
Members of the United Auto Workers union began picketing at a General Motors assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri; a Ford factory in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit; and a Stellantis Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio.
It was the first time in the union’s 88-year history that it walked out on all three companies simultaneously as four-year contracts expired at 11:59 p.m. Thursday.
Last posted 2 years ago, today - a "tradition", and the ultimate theme song for honoring the worker.
Many long suffer, many rejoice… And on this day, many reflect.
A gem here, from the slower-rolling but gathering no moss, the immortal Rolling Stones.
