UAW, which represents American auto workers, recently won a victory in their strike against the "Big Three" auto companies. Among the benefits:

  • RAISES: Expected to range +33% to over +160%. (after including forecasted COLA and CWIs.)
  • It now takes 3 years of employment to reach top pay rate (was 8).
  • Company spending on many workers’ 401(k)s boosted to 10% of salaries.

Now, the UAW wants workers at auto companies other than the "Big Three" to go union so that they too can make improvements in their life. And the first step is as many workers signing up as possible. Workers at these companies can do so at the following links.

After clicking the link, click the big "Sign your Union Card" button (scroll up if you don't see it), fill in your details and check your email.

The South Asian country's 3,500 garment factories account for around 85 percent of its $55 billion in annual exports, supplying many of the world's top brands including Levi's, Zara and H&M.

But conditions are dire for many of the sector's four million workers, the vast majority of whom are women whose monthly pay starts at 8,300 taka ($75).

A government-appointed panel raised wages on Tuesday by 56.25 percent to 12,500 taka, but striking workers demand a near-tripling of the wage to 23,000 taka.

"Police opened fire. She was shot in the head... She died in a car on the way to a hospital," said Mohammad Jamal, the husband of 23-year-old sewing machine operator Anjuara Khatun, a mother of two.

Wage protests pose a major challenge to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has ruled the country with an iron fist since 2009. A resurgent opposition has challenged her rule as she readies for elections due before January.

Before you go work for a place that calls people to ask them to donate blood, please know that about 6 months in, you will be hounded by the supervisor for more appointments. You will have no control over if the donors answer at all, what kind of mood they are in, or if they even want to donate ever again.

You will be at fault and they will always point something out that you did wrong(didn't resemble a robot in) such as taking an extra 3 seconds before sending the next call.

The people at the top are making bank while the call center agents are abused and don't even make a living wage. They get told they are saving lives and then hounded for more appointments.

Reddit is flooded with blood donation schills and bots that gaslight you for saying anything bad about their industry. In reality, most people are angry that you won't stop calling and some will curse and threaten.

I am not saying that you should not donate blood. I am a blood donor myself (inactive).

If you want to give them a reason why you won't schedule, besides the fact that they give you a pin for donating loads of gallons of your life and health, you can also mention that you don't like the way the call center agents and donors save lives so that upper management and up can make major bank.
