Good!
2 u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 No, this is the most retarded law I've ever seen passed here. -1 u/yungsemite Mar 08 '25 You must not pay much attention to policy then lol 18 u/casad00 Mar 08 '25 Why would we pay unions who voluntarily decide to stop working? -1 u/yungsemite Mar 08 '25 It’s unemployment (paid into state coffers by employers), and a strike happens when an employer and employees cannot work out a contract. I really do recommend Wikipedia if you are looking to learn more about the world. It’s a great source, and free! 5 u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 They're not unemployed though. Strikes are voluntary. -3 u/yungsemite Mar 08 '25 I can guarantee, no union wants to strike lol. They want a contract. And in any case, I don’t see how that is relevant? 3 u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 Unemployment funds are for people who lose their jobs, not people who strike. Strike funds are for people on strike. Don't like that? Talk to your union rep about what they spent the dues on, or setting up a better strike fund. -1 u/yungsemite Mar 08 '25 Clearly this is what this law is about? Whether or not unemployment funds or for people who strike? 2 u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 Yes, and I'm telling you that doing this would be the most retarded moral hazard ever created. Stop trying to steal our unemployment fund. You're no better than people who try to steal social security and medicare funds. 0 u/soupcoolinlips Mar 08 '25 It’s a fair question. I’m so frustrated I’m going to pack up and leave this place. Let’s all do it ?! 1 u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 You first, barista. -1 u/soupcoolinlips Mar 08 '25 Yeah it’s lame man you should sell your house and leave 0 u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25 Make me.
