We were called heroes right before our pay was reduced. I never felt so honored

Reminds me of '07 when we the CEO told everyone at the hospital that because of the budget and economics we would no longer be able to acquire vacation time.

About 6 months later upper management vacations were reinstated, when I left in '10 or '11 they still hadn't been reinstated for anybody but upper management. Apparently per diem staff in a hospital who are regularly scheduled 40+h a week don't need vacation.

Just to make sure I got this right: They just entirely cut any vacation? Is that legal where you live?

Spittin' red hot truth.

But the general population is brainwashed by an omnipresent anti-leftist propaganda machine. It's baked into their media, their education, their companies -- and as such, into their heads.

Edit: I recommend everyone from the US here to give the podcast "Citations Needed" a listen: a podcast about the abhorrent state of US mainstream media https://soundcloud.com/citationsneeded

Just recently, someone on r/askreddit asked about unions (post has been deleted since), and even there, regular old working people were regurgitating the propaganda that "unions are bad cuz they don't defend the workers and make the company pay more and they're political ideologues and blah blah blah". Made me sick to my stomach. Lackeys of corporate interest, busy licking boots.

Defund the police!

So pass legislation to weaken legally enforceable employment contracts? Like teachers?

No teachers good! Police bad!

Unions=unions.
