The Justice for Janitors folks use to snarl up traffic all the time when I lived in LA. What pests they are.

I remember in my teen years going Greyhound and sitting in the smoking section in the back of the bus with a heavy machine operator from Texas. I smoked at the time. I’ll never forget his words for unions during our conversation: “I’d rather hold my mother down while a dog f@#$ed her than join on of them f@#$ing unions.” I gathered that he didn’t care much for his mother during the course of our conversation. So the statement is somewhat equivocal, since he left it up in the air whether that was in revenge on his mother, or to emphasize his dislike for unions, or both. You used to meet interesting people on Greyhounds in those days.

Did they used to bang on empty plastic containers in rhythm? That was a common strike tactic in NY.

Would this be considered a ‘with cause’ firing? If so, no unemployment.

Since Twitter was not their primary employer they don't owe them a thing but it also wasn't a firing for cause. All Twitter did was end a contract with the company that hired them. The contracting company has the option of moving them to other contracts but if that isn't an option then it'll let them go and they can collect unemployment.

I do too. But the depth of their tentacles(liberals) is deep. We have been conquered.

$50,000 is not a lot in the Bay Area. Maybe in Hicksville USA it is.

$50,000 is pretty decent almost everywhere except the Bay or New York.

They are suing for severance packages that were promised BEFORE Musk’s acquisition of Twitter but which were not delivered to the fired employees.

Shouldn't they be suing the contractor that actually employs them, not Twitter?

New owner, new contracts.

Bad time to call a strike.

Rationally, no one should be guaranteed a job. I had to earn mine everyday

They’re trying him out, see if he walks the walks. Dumb idea for workers in a low-skill job.

I honestly don’t know, but just on the face of it, I would think that lawsuit would get thrown out - then again, it seems to depend on the judge these days.

Thank you! I am not able to stomach reading about any worthless woke twitter employee so didn’t know they were under a contract.

Only when you don’t give them everything they want like a good evil capitalist pig who must apologize for drawing breath.

having to wake up with news of American Girl putting out transgender books on the morning news and having to explain to my 8 and 10 year old they will never be getting them again put me in a sour mood.

Horrible. Perverse. Stupid. Hope they do go broke.

DailyMail:
American Girl is accused of 'stripping away all innocence' in book that teaches children as young as THREE how to change gender by asking doctors for puberty blocker

New York Post:
American Girl angers parents with book teaching kids about gender expression
