  1. I would expect them to push for permanent positions. Even if you're automated, you still need people to monitor the process. You need people to troubleshoot issues. You need people to perform routine maintenance and repairs. I would ask if anyone really believes any savings in labor costs and efficiency would actually be passed on to the consumer? Every publicly traded company I've worked for is laughing in dividends.
  2. I would assume that part of the negotiations would be that, in exchange for allowing some level of automation, the union would make the company agree to the creation of a certain number of union jobs that maintain the automation equipment (or something to that effect).
  3. Her kids were all conceived via IVF.
  4. A CBA negotiation means if you're going to give something up, even something reasonable, you're going to push for some sort of a concession in turn. My union has pushed for increased staffing in my department because our work load and amount of equipment we work on and monitor has quadrupled in the past 5 years. The company doesn't want to do it because it costs money. If they do agree to add the staffing, they'll be expecting a concession on our end. It's just how this shit works.
  5. You're surprised a union that represents union workers would oppose measures that would reduce the amount of union jobs needed?
  6. You got about 10,000 mullahs and the IRGC to go through first. As has already been said, you're not necessarily getting a regime change out of an external enemy fighting the country. It's more likely to galvanize support due to that threat.
  7. What about infamous?
  8. I work a rotating (nights/days) 36/48 schedule. The 400-500 hours is about the average overtime I've worked a year not counting my regular scheduled hours. I wouldn't work all the OT if I wasn't getting paid for it. I don't live to work.
  9. You only get up to those amounts by working an extra 400-500 hours of overtime a year. Sincerely, A union worker that works 400-500 hours of overtime
  10. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/01/ukraine-seim-river-poisoning-chernihiv-ecocide- The Russians dumped pollutants into the Seym River just upstream of the Ukrainian border. It dropped the dissolved oxygen levels in the river, and the Desna River which it flows into, killing off most living things in the water.
  11. I may have this sticker on my hard hat.
  12. Porn
  13. He's just like me!
  14. He'd probably enjoy it.
