@CARCOSA@hexbear.net could we please feature/pin this post (maybe without federation people being able to see it even)?

First of: Thanks for doing what you do comrade!

Try to contact the fine folks at the IWW, try to contact some of the already organizing labour campaings, have a look at the - not ideal, but somewhat useful - "No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age" or an "Organizing for Power Seminar" i.e. Jane McAlvey's, something for the people after you that could be relevant are "bargaining unit seminars", too.

For help with contracts you need unions who already have contracts or political lawyers.

Remember that moving forward means to somewhat include the workers in your company.

If you have a contract don't exclude the right to strike during bargaining agreements for too long and/or include points for which you can strike even when an agreement is going on for points that weren't part of the previous ones (this is legally contested depending on where you are).

Have a meeting with your workers about what are the most pressing needs. Companies will try to low ball you, dare to say: "We can take your suggestions and talk with our workers about them" and if they walk back on things make that transparent.

Often the company tries to enforce discretion about what is discussed in those meetings, trots often argue that you ought to say no to that and talk with the full worker base about stuff. If this works is contingent on a lot of things. Why I write that is mostly to say: While the techniques used against you are often similar, the path you and your workers take is unique. More than what would be the perfect solution is the one that is done.

It isn't just age, but the age you were born and how it influences the social relations of yours to others. Young people in the US are having a much worse time since the contradictions of capitalism and the restructuring of the social net etc. came home. There is use it in, also there is a strong sentiment for applying specific generations - which are also location bound - towards class analysis here. The hate against the rich boomers which did profit from the rising housing prices (which other groups have to pay the profits and debts for) is also an economic distinction, but it isn't just an economic distinction.

If you read Marx German ideology he describes the framework of how previous generations did create material conditions (by altering previous material conditions), they and primarily their mode of production creates social relations, those inform the super structure which in some way influences the base.

The material conditions and the social relations of people in the imperial core is not only depending to their relation to the means of production and their class status, but also what kind of position they hold in the imperial global colonial extraction system, as well as the place within society they hold due to their class sub strata.

For boomers (who aren't LGBTQ, Neurodivergent, disabled by society, BIPoC, partially women etc.) in the imperial core (or the west like USA) they were not only labour aristocrats in the sense of Lenin that extraction from the colonial countries to the core gives the wages an increase, but they also had a quasi hegemony and relative economic power (even when visiting as tourist somewhere).

They also did use up plenty of resources, mainly channeled through actions of capitalists, companies, the state and turned away from organized social movements, due to their perceived "freedom" (and privilege). Their numbers did also mean that there was a new kind of material reality in which parliamentary logic dictated that to achieve power you ought to focus not only on capitalists, but also could please that part of population to do quite a bit of class warfare. Sure, this did hit boomers, too, but the term doesn't always mean ALL boomers.

I could write a bit more and be more precise, but I think the general gist can be understood. Generations can't ever experience the same material conditions as the social relations of society which are structured according to class, are also sub structured according to age and access to family capital/wealth/property etc.

You can reinterpret generations materially though.

For pretty much all commercial tasks 3 year old chips are more than enough. The capability to sustain industry is secured now.

This is one of the most funny bank recommendations I have seen in a long time

If stuff as well as yours had existed in 2004 when IRC "died" and facebook etc. grew we might still have functioning decentralized boards as default right now.

thanks for your work. That kind of online posting is praxis and is quite helpful. Hope you get as much in your personal life as you give :)

Thanks for the software!

What is your and others Devs opinion on the pre-emptive de-federation of 20k hexbear users by 120k user instance lemmy.world?

Would you think Ranked Choice voting for admins i.e. with the Schulze method - which Debian uses - integrated into the sites would mean that better community supported decisions can be made for both moderation as well as in comments/communities about stuff?

Also: is there a remind me in 2 month of this post option?
