Impossible to say if this poster is from this month or from the 80s.
Apart from the Saturn-shaped controller, which means post 90s.
Yeah! Buy a gaming console instead of having support against us, the mighty abusive employers! Getting fair wages is just dumb when you can play video games.
By the way, why so expensive? I pay 8 euros monthly, from my bruto income. While they made sure my previous employer didn't fuck me over, for a staggering 5 years long fight. I had 5 lawyers. For 8 euros per month. And I won, which I couldn't have done myself.
I joined a union after a previous manager started coming after me (cos they were a bit power mad) and I could only sue them when they fired me thanks to the union resources. Otherwise, I would have had to leave fuming but powerless like everyone else had. Unions are totally worth it!
I know craftsmen who could certainly build one for cheaper than that...
look man, I've tried those cheap Algerian knockoffs - most of the time, you're lucky if you get 2 or 3 Marquees under the fucker before it starts warping, much less taking it onto the bourgeoise pigs and their fat necks.
Don't be fooled, you get what you pay for here.
Everyone's got a guillotine guy
With the retroactive salary increase my union just got me, I could buy several gaming systems. [meme of dude tapping his head]
Uniona are kinda a strange duck. Employers hate them, but technically shouldn't care because if they were in fact not trying to fuck you constantly then unions wouldn't get people very far.
On the other hand as a union worker myself, I've seen some of the laziest biggest pieces of shit not get fired because we're union. So it isn't sunshine and rainbows for either side.
Free riders are a feature, not a bug. High unions make everything better for almost everyone. The only ones who benefit from union-busting are the ownership class, because ultimately they only work in a competitive market when the ownership isn't hoarding more than their share.
I'd rather some lazy fucker gets to live comfortably with a living wage like anyone else than some lazy rich fucktard gets to live super duper comfy while everyone else suffers. Theres always low performer for whatever reason (its rarely pure lazyness), a healthy society can carry them.
You're focused on the wrong enemy.
I've seen some of the laziest biggest pieces of shit not get fired because we're union.
It doesnt need to be this way, but through corruption or other means this has happened.
Like the room in NYC with teachers that just sit in it all day because they cant be fired.
Delta pilots are unionized. Wide body captains are making over $700k/year
I can see why Delta doesn't want the rest of their employees unionizing. I don't see why they haven't
Pilots make more money if they're fatasses!? Where do I sign up!?
SatansMaggotyCumFart prefers MAGA to leftists.
Putting the ad hominem to the side if that is what you got out of that conversation I think it’s mostly a reading comprehension issue.
I think you're forgetting the etiquette of the fediverse.
They ain't being a nuisance here, so why the nagging?
"Buy this thing so you don't notice while we take advantage of you."
I'm honestly surprised they aren't telling us to buy something Delta sells to complete the grift.
For whoever reported this as Anti-Union Propaganda, you are correct. However, this post has been approved because it's blatantly awful as a piece of propaganda. Anyone who thinks that this post provides a convincing argument, please add your comment to the thread to promote discussion. :)
I think I pay 60€ per 3 months, so 240 per year, and I get a part of it back after submitting some form.
You also (probably) get regular raises and healthcare
Yes, our country has wage indexation and healthcare.
If im getting union wages I can do both
You know who I trust to tell me how to live my life? Big faceless corporations. They obviously want what's best for me more than they care about their bottom line.
Coincidentally, unions might be the only things that could still save the AAA side of the games industry...
I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.
I'd expect more unionization to mechanically reduce games scope by increasing workers hourly compensation. And progressively remove authority from the MBA guys through giving more power to the devs
That works for me. I’ve come to appreciate games that keep it short but tight over long games full of filler.
How much do your union busting consultants cost Delta?
I bet it is a fuckload more than that.
Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.
Bunch of fucking wankers.
This is what literally popped into my head when I read the blatant anti-union propaganda.
$700 lol 😆...I wish . Try $4500/year and worth every penny. GO UNION!!!
I swear to all the fucking gods, I'm contrarian enough that even if I were anti union, this shitty attempt at manipulation would make me jump on board.
Like, fuck, don't insult my fucking intelligence like that
wait, i cannot tell if this is real. it's to absurd to be real but it's also american so i'm lost
Its a shame no one puts a sticker that says Union dues are like an investment that will pay off in dividends way above 700
Right? What kind of union isn’t benefiting their members to the tune of $700 a year? Especially one that’s charging those kinds of dues should well be able to.
A bit of a side note, but whoever or whatever team created this clearly isn't a gamer. While most modern consoles I believe are capable of playing music. Video game terminology wouldn't refer to playing games as "The Latest Hits Sounds".
Big corporations actively campaigning against you doing something like this is always a pretty safe bet that the opposite of what they want is in your interest.
Ok but here’s the thing… you can regicide the price of the union with the company and hand the company pay for most of your union dues and realistically 700/year isn’t bad for job security, higher wages, better hours and better benefits aswell as various other things that not being in a union would be impossible. This union busting is madly illegal and really fucked up. Hate US companies
