I think that minimum wage being a livable salary, is less complicated.
I imagine that's part of their point? At least that is how I took it.
UBI could be even less complicated. If everyone were guaranteed a livable income, a minimum wage might not even be necessary.
I like Scott Galloway's take: SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE!
Call UBI a negative tax and Republican voters will listen.
Just enough to pay rent and utilities. Then only corporations will own property.
Billed double. Make it hurt.
*should be nationalized and sold off, and its mismanagers prosecuted
The wealthy NEED the airports to keep running so not to interfere with their vacation plan. Starving kids on the other hand can simply be rewoven as doormats by any good capitalist.
I'm GLAD we not only BAILED THESE COMPANIES OUT WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS and also DON'T TAX THEM but we ALSO get to Pay Their Employees!
-Republicans who don't want to use their Tax Dollars to Feed Starving American Children.
How is being paid "from pushback to arrival" even vaguely legal?
Even fast food restaraunts in airports pay a higher hourly rate to compensate the staff for the added pain in the balls for getting to work.
Been that way forever. Parking brake release with door closed was the standard for a long time. Now they have parking systems on the terminal that sense the aircraft and don’t start the clock until the aircraft pushes back, and stop the clock as soon as it’s parked even if you’re sitting there for 30 minutes waiting for the jet bridge or whatever.
I hope the unions give these bastards a nice, swift kick in the ass.
If anyone should be taking a pay cut, it's the shitty CEO's whose decisions make flying a miserable experience.
If this were in a free country, sure. But these unions need government permission to strike.
I didn't know that.
Ain't that a fucking bitch.
Welcome to "democracy"
Nobody wants to work anymore.
"Nobody wants to work anymore."
I haven't flown in a while, have they already started asking us to tip flight attendants?
Remember, they're the ones that close the doors (or don't)!
guys does making airline workers unable to afford life make passengers less safe?
they are only set to warn little more than $27,000 per year before tax.
I know that writing is hard, especially when using AI, but please proof read your posts?
Oh no, a typo from hitting a key right next to the intended key, this has never happened in the history of journalism!
Not only that, the the typo is a legitimate word, meaning it won't be flagged by spell check. HOWEVER, that's no excuse to not proofread a submitted article. In fact, it's more reason why one should.
Why you say this the author seems legit. No?
Time to unionize, I think.
They are already
Thats has to be from the onion! ( I hope at least )
But tHe inVisIbLe haNd
but the current rules make it almost impossible for them actually to stage a walkout.
Good ol Genocide Joe still isn't doing shit for union workers.
Are you serious? Conservatives are not even hiding the fact that if elected they would 100% support israel and russia. Go get a brain
“Other people are worse” isn’t a good excuse for his own responsibility.
