Reminder: Cops are class traitors.
Cops are kept attack dogs.
Animal Farm in real life through every generation. The dogs on the farm were the police.
Reminder: police unions are not worker unions
I hate em as much as anyone but aren’t they just protecting roadways
Unemployment is at 3%! Who is crossing the strike lines to work at Amazon of all places?
If unemployment is so low then why can’t I find a god damn job? I’ve been searching since October!
You can find jobs, just not careers. Lower your standards and their are infinite shit jobs that you can take.
Unemployment is a misleading statistic since it only counts people who are or actively looking as members of the workforce. Those who have given up or who just aren’t getting any responses at all are considered not to be part of the work force which artificially inflates the employment rate.
Dude I can’t even get hired at a grocery store. I apply and apply and apply to all sorts of shit and nobody ever responds. I’ve filled out over 100 applications, and all I got out of that was 3 interviews and no offers.
It was easier to find work when I first entered the job market in 2008, right after the economy crashed. The last time I had to look for job was right before COVID, and it was easy as hell. Literally applied to 3 jobs and was hired within 2 weeks. What the hell changed in recent years?
You are too old/skilled/educated/mobile/employable for non premium works, so the non-premium works take a pass on you.
Dumb down your resume or work for a temp agency for a bit. Pretend you have addiction issues. Be a little emotionally volatile. People will hire you on the basis of, they can potentially exploit you.
Age-ism.
The economy didn’t respond they way “it should have” by tightening… so corporates had to just resort to good old fashioned collusion to teach the workforce they can’t ask for things like hybrid and payraises.
It’s kind of blowing up in their face.
They do behave aweful a lot like an occupation force
Probably because they get trained by the IDF
Yeah in an ideal world they should be trained by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Quds Force.
Do we still have to keep calling their gangs, “unions”? Clearly they have zero interest in class solidarity, and have only reinforced the reality that they exist to protect capital.
They have interest in class solidarity in the sense that they have set themselves in a class separate from the majority of the people, and they experience significant solidarity within that class.
But their insular “solidarity” is a shadow of what they could experience if they didn’t throw their communities under the bus to appease capital. I find it quite sad, in a way, because capital cares about police officers no more than it cares about me; capital considers them a resource to be exploited, just as it does me. We should be on the same side, but alas.
One thing is for sure donuts would go missing right there immediately.
Shouldn’t people be boycotting Amazon, otherwise working people are hanging themselves with the rope they bought and brought to the party.
But Amazon can deliver that rope free, within two business days!
As much as possible yeah
You know how union of all people created for collective action(including boycotting) is called? Goverment.
At least some of us have already. <raises hand>
Spread out that spend, but being a discerning consumer will only take us so far.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when people beat the drum about cops enforcing the laws we tell them to enforce.
Did all of you sleep through Civics?
Union busting is illegal
Yes, but crossing a picket line isn’t.
Did you ever study labour history in the US?
No because they don’t teach to peasants haja
The irony of you using “peasant” as a slur in a pro-labor conversation…
In tejas that’s called being direct!
Main issue in US is that all these plebs think they are “middle” class when really they are one adverse medical event of bking the family.
This is why strikes are so important.
They remind the workers who’s side the cops are really on in the class war.
Police are unionized lmao. Let’s break up that union and see how they like it. They should be on our side but the fucking cowards bent the knee. I’m not the least but surprised, it’s no longer the police but a gang of violent goons protecting the elite.
I wish the irony wasn’t lost on them as having the police as allies would do us all a lot of good.
I floated the idea to someone that we should make police unions responsible for any legal payouts when a cop is found at fault and there is a civil payout. The police won’t hold themselves accountable and they don’t even have to pay the fines. The tax payers do. Making the police unions pay would give them incentive to actually cut ties with bad cops.
I was told that was a terrible idea and the fastest way to bankrupt the police. I didn’t see the problem.
Oh no, the police going bankrupt. The horror!
They’re not smart enough to take sides. They just do what they’re told.
They just do what they’re told.
That, and they do what they are well paid to do.
And what they can get away with!
Bastards and scabs. It’s a good look
Not only are all cops bastards, Cops are class traitors. Police unions should not be allowed.
class traitors
Daily reminder that cops are not working class
I would say the majority of cops, in America, are firmly in the working class, financially speaking. Unless you’ve got some theory reason for why police are excluded from the proletariat or something. Which I don’t know if I’d argue with. They exist to protect capital.
Cops of overpaid pos idiots
Idk, in my estimation they ARE working class, which is precisely why they are class traitors
If this doesn’t tell you how much of the authority, your local police, are in the back pockets of corporations. Then nothing will.
Fucking class traitors
