The fear of a surplus labor thief, can't even look anyone in the eyes when faced with solidarity.
edit:
In March, the coffee chain recruited former CIA operative Amanda Stanfill as its manager of global intelligence for retail operations.
She had also previously worked for the US State Department and the notorious anti-union Pinkerton intelligence agency.

Thinking about the recent case of Chinese factory workers kidnapping their boss over unpaid wages, and the cops showing up and agreeing with the workers.
Anybody got the link? I wanna make a meme of these two articles side by side
Here's one example, but if you google "Chinese workers kidnap boss" it seems that this is a common labor tactic there lmao.
In a strange turn of events the police are treating the kidnapping as an internal/industrial dispute, and are refusing to intervene as they do not believe Mr Starnes to be in immediate physical danger.
lmao, this reminds me of the time some based union dude ripped the shirt of a high level HR executive of Air France during strikes in France about 7 years ago. It made, I kid you not, front-page news for several days, with tens of sycophants blaming the "unacceptable violence" and the like.
These ghouls should count themselves lucky - union workers used to stand with rifles.
Wasn't there another one where a boss was thrown into a dumpster?
I don't think so ? there was the time two union garbage workers took their full truck to try to empty it in front of Macron's party's headquarters though. They failed, sadly. During those same protests, some union workers managed to enter those headquarters and cut water and electricity, mind you.

RT’s story had video, but which is “currently not available.”
Still so surreal that RT has been shutdown in the US.
How many more examples can there be before the masses have to face honestly that were in a fascist clampdown state of collapse?
Me: Hey Joe, what is all this police money for?
Joe: To fight right wing militants, of course
Me: Oh, okay
Joe: Haha! Is actually for union busting!
Joe: And for suppressing future environmental and racial justice protests. Can't forget that Jack!
"At this point, the best possible verb the rich can hope for is to be "'taxed."'
Boss: We here at "Conglomo Corp" want you to know that you're opinions are valuable to us. Our door is always opened to hear about your concerns and suggestions.
Also the Boss: SHIT THEY'RE IN MY OFFICE! HELP HELP HELP!
Reminder that it’s direct supervisors, not paid muscle or CEOs, who are on the union busters’ front line. All unionization attempts should identify social leaders early and often, either co-opting them before management realizes the game being played or neutralizing them if they’re going to side with middle/upper management. There’s a good chance that corporate warned them ahead of time, “your workers may corner you with a list of demands and not let you leave. This is a form of kidnapping and assault and should be reported to HR immediately.” Their initial response was probably, “yeah whatever, my team would never do that.” But then as soon as they’re in the situation, even if they’re fully capable of leaving, all they can think about is the training and the fact that what is happening to them is “kidnapping and assault”. At that point they shut down and trust their superiors implicitly.
The same thing works in the opposite direction. Once you’ve built a relationship with someone over time, you can warn them about how the playbook works. They probably won’t believe you. Until they do. This process is called inoculation and while it’s important not to do it too soon, it is the single most important step in fighting union busting. The only things more important in the whole process of forming a union are to move slow/methodically and to keeps records of Protected and Concerted Actions.
keeps records of Protected and Concerted Actions.
Can you elaborate on this?
It's verbiage specific to US labor law, but basically this
I don’t know what it’s called in places outside the US, but here there are (admittedly weak) protections for workers discussing their conditions for the sake of improving them. Keeping notes or records of such conversations is necessary for the legal side of things, for better or for worse.

When "In Minecraft" turns in to LARPing with your coworkers as a team building exercise
Imagine being a store manager and being this fucking petty, grats, now you legit have 0 workers, and your store will either need to be manned by yourself only or it will be closed.
i'll bet they just transferred the little worm to another store. Maybe gave them a thank-you bonus too
You are almost always correct. However, if they are going to hit you with 20 to life for attending a work meeting you have nothing to lose.
:spray-bottle: you still have your life and if there's anything else you should learn from the black panthers is that as long as you're alive you can keep organizing - even in prison.
It's easy to die a martyr but infinitely more harder to keep on living as a revolutionary.
Edit: you better change that "almost always correct" to "100% always correct because you're the one true liberal on this leftist website"
Fair critique. Obviously this is too blackpilling for me to be able to process this reasonably.
For real tho these charges are decades of time easy if they stick. This is 10/10 fash behavior. Like, i cannot really describe how the next step up from this is just deaths quads.
