Another of IATSE’s wins adds hours off to break up brutal filming schedules. “Our members will see significant improvements, but our employers also will benefit,” said Mike Miller, vice president and motion picture director for IATSE, in a statement. “Workers should have improved morale and be more alert.”
Did you quit your job or organize your workplace, in official or unofficial ways, over the past few months? I’d love to hear more about what drove you to take action, and/or how you built solidarity.
The Times interviewed Amazon staff and reviewed internal documents that showed that Amazon subsequently discovered it was shortchanging some employees who were on leave, including medical and disability leave.
Current and former HR employees also told The Times that workers facing medical problems were automatically fired by Amazon's attendance software after it mistook their leave for absence.
Bethany Reyes, an Amazon HR employee who has recently been charged with fixing the company's leave system, told The Times that the company was trying to rebalance its mantra of "optimizing" for the customer.
Human Nature
Dickens was admired not only as a novelist but also as a social critic, and in "Oliver Twist," he uses his sharp eye to dissect the weaknesses of human nature. The social canvas of the novel, which includes the poor underclass of London and the criminal justice system designed to contain it, allows Dickens to explore what happens when humans are reduced to the basest conditions.
Society and Class
As the story of a poor orphan and, more generally, the downtrodden, "Oliver Twist" is filled with Dickens' thoughts about the role of class in English society. The author is highly critical of the institutions that protect the upper classes while leaving the poor to starve and die. Throughout the book, Dickens raises questions about how society organizes itself and treats its worst-off members.
If something like this happens in China or other countries to which the US is hostile, there could be a moral carnival for US media outlets. They will use eye-catching headlines and fierce words such as "slavery" and "oppression" to attack those countries. But as it is actually happening in the US, only a few outlets pay attention. A handful of their bland reports can hardly attract the attention of the whole country. Unconsciously, the double standard of the US on such issues has harmed the US itself. It has lowered its own moral standards, making American society as a whole apathetic.
If the young people are strong, the country will be strong. At the very least, US' failure to protect the rights and interests of the child will only harm the teenagers and their families. More broadly, it will affect the improvement of the whole country's moral fiber. This will cause irreparable damage to the US. As a result, the US decay will be accelerated as well.

young man, your fascination with all things socialism amuses me. you really have no concept whatsoever to the subject you so advocate. you falsely want what you "think" is "good" about socialism while ignoring the fact that socialism as a form of both government and economic policy is the greatest failure in the history of humanity.
without posting videos of Richard Wolff and (soon to be dead) Noam Chomsky prove to me socialism is good.
i'll wait
and what you don't realize is this .. you think .. that under socialism your low income life will somehow be better because there won't be any rich people (like me) but in reality you as a slave of the state will be living a lower standard than your current low standard and you'll realize ... way too late .. you were actually better off in the grand world of capitalism and the unlimited opportunity it affords you. and me.

Get it now?
No more tonight.
