- tyingq 3y agoPay rate varies wildly by location of the restaurant, even within the same city/state/country. Edit: It does. Do a few job searches.
- threeseed 3y agoBecause unions are a counter-balance to the bargaining strength of employers. And history has shown that you get better outcomes not just for employees but the company and society as a whole. It's better these days but there is still a tendency to think of employees as mindless resources rather than assets.
- mgoetzke 3y agoAs long as the unions and people in it understand that companies still need to thrive and do not get bogged down by corruption themselves this is indeed true
- milesvp 3y agoI find the downvotes for the above post to be quite distateful. I see nothing wrong with it and historically simply disagreeing (or agreeing) with a post is a poor reason to vote. I will add an anecdote to this post. I was talking with a close friend of mine’s father who owned a contruction company. I was fairly anti union at the time, and I made some comment about unions assuming he’d be anti union as well. His response was that he loved unions. He had 2 different unions onsite, and said they both provided access to the best workers. He was happy to have the unions for his business. Now I realize that unions for him were acting like a filter, with the best construction workers likely being attracted to the higher pay and better conditions. But it was an interesting take on things for a young mind. I simply couldn’t fathom a world where a capitalist would embrace union activity.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoThe article mentions "decent and safe working conditions"; it's not about money.
- Tryk 3y agoThis is true, but it is also in regards to compensation. In the Swedish version there are more details but as it turns out Tesla wants to compensate their workers less than the other comparable employers. With the collective agreement the workers would be provided: - Complete package of insurance (providing workers with pensions, sick-pay, maternity leave) - Re-education (if applicable, for instance companies cannot outright fire someone without severance. A re-education package can provide an employee with funds to acquire new skills so that they might be employed by another company) - Wages in line with the industry standard (in Sweden) - Guaranteed yearly wage increases - Part-time pension plans (if applicable) These are all afforded to other workers in the Auto industry.
- InTheArena 3y agoThey are incredibly well compensated - and while their safety record was worse than Toyota and Honda until 2021 (but better then the other US), my understanding is that with the move to gigacasting, now run safer than their japanese equivalents as well. This is leftists being leftists. I am not opposed to unions when they are needed, but this is trade unionism because trade unionism.
- Tryk 3y agoWhat do you mean by "leftists being lefists"? In Sweden nine out of ten employees work under a collective agreement. Are you saying some 90% of Swedish people are leftists?
- Moru 3y agoIf you compare USA to Swedish politics, the rightest right is still left of the leftest left of USA. I guess it's a bit hard to understand Unions in Sweden if all you know is the Unions of USA.
