Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Hell yeah
It does seem like the harder part of the negotiation (automation) will happen in January.
It's a shame that the labor union is opposed to Automation but in a capitalist system any loss of a job threatens loss of life: there is strong incentive from unions to oppose automation for that reason.
Automation should be the joy of the worker but without ownership of the means it becomes the worker's doom.
Fair points all around.
It always makes me glad to see workers kick management in the dick, though.
The increase they won is higher than any wage I've earned. Happy as fuck for them, as that's a life-changing bump.
