Was it ever profitable? I always thought twitter was always in the red and the only time it made money was when it sued Elon to buy it due to his arrogance and coz it minupilated the stock prices on twitter.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…

You measure your height in metres as in 1.8m or 180cm and for little things it’s mm (millimetres) or cm if it’s less then 1m.

It scales alot easier then the US measurement system of anything other then the simple metric system.

I never stated I wasonly ever in one union I only stated I have been a union member for near 20years. There has been 3 different unions at my workplace and this 3rd union isn’t any better then the other 2.

Yes unions have gotten workplaces alot better over the last 100 years, but in the last 15years governments have stripped union powers effectiveness. In Australia most of the benifits unions have gotten have been put into law making 1/2 - 3/4 of what they do not anything different to legal requirements making them only good for pay increases and then calling them “benefits for the employees” and in our case in our last EA agreement it was extremely sub par us members forced the union to go back 3 times for a 2% pay increase per year over 5 years.

In Australia it couldn’t be a more true statement.

I’m not going to put one union on a pedestal for the sake of other unions as there is alot of shitty unions out there.

I know your paid for a strike but not at full pay and people are stupid and live paycheck to paycheck.

In our industry (mining) the government is alot more strict then the union ever is about safety or the government will remove the mining lease and shit the place down (been done to other pits in the area).

We work a rotating roster that the company sent to the union during EA talks and they said yeah that’s fine without consulting the workforce, and it’s been that way since and trying to get the older guys to change to a better roster is a nightmare.

Sick leave and vacation time is government mandated.

You might live in a destopian country with a shitty government but our unions ride the arse of the governments country wide employment mandates and then say they do alot.

Been a union member at my workplace for 20years, they only give a shit about pay increases for the workers and Linus pays his workers above minimum wage which is what the union would ask for.

In this economic climate no one will strike for just one person when it’s those members that are part of the problem.

Unions aren’t what they used to be and shouldn’t be treated as such.
