One year on, we know this: #Sweden’s trade unions are more than a match for Elon Musk

It is the first and only #strike against #Tesla anywhere in the world. And it has now become the longest-running strike in Sweden for a century. In April, six months into the dispute,

#Musk said: “Actually, I think the storm has passed on that front, I think things are in reasonably good shape in Sweden.” That was not true then, and it is not true now.

REASONS TO THANK UNIONS (Republicans hate it. They just want cheap, silent female, child, immigrant, and minorities labor.)

  1. Weekends Off: Massive union strikes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries led to shorter work weeks with weekends off. This allowed Americans to be home with loved ones instead of constantly working.
  2. Paid Vacations: With summer coming to a close, take time to thank your union for the paid vacation time that made it possible to rest and relax with your family.
  3. Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA): Unions spearheaded the fight that resulted in the passage of this law that gives eligible employees the right to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave annually for family and medical reasons.
  4. Breaks at Work—Including Lunch: Although they are now federally mandated, breaks haven't always been an employee right. Studies have shown, breaks provide important rest periods that improve safety and productivity.
  5. Sick Leave: Without paid sick leave, many workers couldn't afford to take the time necessary to recover from illnesses and accidents.
  6. Paid Holidays: Labor Day is one of nine paid holidays offered by most employers in the U.S. As you spend time with family and friends this Labor Day, thank Unions.
  7. Military Leave: The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act ensures those that serve their country can keep civilian employment and benefits, and seek employment free from discrimination.
  8. 40-hour Work Week: Americans once worked 60 hours a week or more. It wasn't until the 1950's that 40-hour work weeks and 8-hour work days became standard across America thanks to union negotiations.
  9. Employers and Managers From Hell Employers have a legal duty to prevent sexual harassment. When there is a union, workers can hold employers accountable through the enforcement of anti-discrimination and anti-harassment language in collective bargaining agreements and can better advocate for broad anti-harassment policies and training for managers.

Texas 'Death Star Bill' could leave construction workers 'fatigued, disoriented, dehydrated': report

Hm, a day without nonstop #TrumpVirus coverage.

Good #news, too, like UNION workers now working hard to re-open the I-95 transportation artery within 2 weeks!

Biden visited the I95 road collapse site and roundly praised the hard working union members working around the clock. (with pay)
Meanwhile, some states move to allow children into dangerous and long-illegal work situations, and Abbott....

OMG, whenever one needs proof of how low, how mean, and how fascist a governor &/or cult/'party can get.... just go to the #Abbott / #DeathSantis competition for for most vile and fascism-inclined governor wannabe-me-more...

"Contrast and Compare"
