Pitting different types of workers against each other automatically promotes you to a scab. Purism and sectarianism are much more harmful to labor organizing than union busting.
Good on you, give them hell and good luck with the cheeto in chief. If you need to run, you'll always have a home this side of the ocean.
Regarding the "different types of workers", a CEO is still a worker. Smart people know the difference between those that take advantage of legislation vs those who suffer from it. This type of absolute dogmatic purism is what got your laws to be shit in the first place.
Shit like this is why they called you a scab. Ceos aren't workers, they're part of the capital class. Thinking of ceos as workers shows me you haven't thought through your positions past a surface level.
You mean like ceos and the rest of the capital class? And I'm guessing you consider yourself one of the "smart ones" LOL
No, capital owning politicians is what made our laws to be this shit.
Bruh, I've worked for small companies most of my adult life. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Even ceos of the small companies I've worked for are well above the standard worker in pay and monetary class.
The only place you have a point is on very small businesses that are basically not even incorporated (like my business before it went under). Even the "mom and pop" family taco joint I worked for as a young adult had that problem.
Edit:
Oh sorry, I didn't realize I was speaking with a low rent troll. Carry on.
Your submission in "TikTok tells LA staff impacted by wildfires to use personal/sick hours if they can't work from home" was removed for Rule 3.
"it's not the CEOs fault they're fuckin' ghouls, bruv" - this guy
Now start pulling the rope, who gives mandate to the CEO? Who controls the mandate? Do they also influence legislation?
Believing the CEOs are the problem and not just another abstraction layer so the real responsibility doesn't fall squarely on the neo nobility is the mark of the failure of the left. It's like herding sheep and hearing the bleating hatred for the Shepherd dog.
CEOs are not workers, they are part-owners in typical compensation schemes. Give me large unearned blocks of stock or a percentage of the net revenue, that would make me not a worker.
