UAW promised 400 supplemental workers that if they went on strike at Chrysler/Dodge they'd get PERMANENT full time jobs.
  So they backed the union,and struck.
  Stellantis, the slimy Euro company that owns Chrysler/Dodge, let those people go January 6th.
  The UAW told those 400 supplemental workers , "sorry nothing we can do."  They kept those union dues though...
  Stellantis is moving more and more work to Europe from America.
   They aren't worried about American jobs. They already make some jeeps in Italy. These Italian jeeps are total crap, very poorly made.

  you don't buy Italian cars for reliability. If you're smart you won't buy an Italian car at all.

"..Pres #Biden: "Today, in 2024 in America, women are being turned away from emergency rooms and forced to travel hundreds of miles for health care ... And now, a court in Alabama put access to some fertility treatments at risk for families who are desperately trying to get pregnant. The disregard for women's ability to make these decisions for themselves and their families is outrageous and unacceptable.
 
"Make no mistake: this is a direct result of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.".."

So, how is the company being a POS the fault of the Union?  Seems you are blaming the wrong people.

"..Make no mistake, the massive layoffs are intentional SHORT TERM sabotage by business decision makers with the goal of LONG TERM benefits for them.

They're trying to drive down the costs of labor. Specifically, they're firing everyone so that we'll accept lower wages upon rehire.

In #infosec, this will backfire on them.

By firing everyone, the level of security technical debt will increase that they'll have to hire everyone AND THEN SOME back at even higher rates.

So. Neat. F-ucking great.

In the mean time, research how to create unions. Start doing so. Tech folks and infosec are not used to needing collective bargaining. You need it now.

Learn about the concepts of Economic Leverage and how it works as an individual contributor and when that fails how Collective Leverage works. The whole "if you fire that one person, we all quit" sort of thing works.

You all hack systems every day. You all study Social Engineering and combat it every day.

Hack the labor market. Socially engineer our mutual protection.."

"..While US congress is on vacation (again), Denmark announces its 15th military aid package to Ukraine worth USD 250,000,000.

The package contains:

— 15,000 artillery shells, 155 mm
— Anti air ammunition
— Mine clearing equipment
— Drones
— Radars
— Communication equipment

Because unlike Putin’s little helpers in Congress, we actually want to defeat Vladimir Putin.."
