Ok the US system is just plain weird. Here in the Nordics there is no law protecting you from not getting fired for not showing up for work during a strike. It is all in the collective agreement that both sides agreed upon. And again the co

Another way that works in many fields is just everyone refusing any and all overtime. If everyone does that most companies (and police, fire departments, public hospitals, etc) can't cope. The company can't really force anyone to

The contracts the unions negotiate in the nordics apply to everyone in the sector. So it makes no difference whatsoever for the pay of anyone if they are a union member or not. The main benefits of being part of an union here is stuff like

One problem with that is that not all the articles are the same size. You can order 1000 t-shirts in the same size from a manufacturer and not all of them will be the same size (especially if you order the cheapest you can find). This is ma

More likely "we managed to get a deal in place with our payment processor". The only reason why they were going to do this was their payment processor saying they would stop processing their payments.

After the 2011 earthquake they came to the conclusion that for some hard to source parts you have to keep a big stockpile. Basically if a part can only be produced by one or two parties there is too much risk of that source going away and d
