Why don’t they join the union?
because they’re scared
I mean, if you sign a letter, you’re on the shitlist already. Might as well join the union if you’re going to get canned anyway.
true
of what?
When you lose your job in the US, you lose your health insurance. You’re screwed if you need an operation done when you’re unemployed. And people in a union tend to be the first to go for talking back.
You Latinos need to cease with your US centricism.
The fired employees have sparringly tied healthcare not beholden to investors.I’m a Latino? How exciting!
I don’t think the union was official yet, i think they were discussing unionising
Prospects must be dire to want to get back into a company that would (and definitely would because they did) do that.
I can’t speak for the USA, but typically in Canada (Ontario) people would not want to return to the employer but force a greater settlement.
Also, in Ontario, an employer that is found to be union busting would result in automatic certification of the union - no vote needed.
No need to speak for the USA, Rockstar North is British
Which I would have learned earlier had I read the article!
Am I the only one who is pro union but kind of surprised that people are surprised by rockstar’s actions?
It’s a big company in the fucking gaming industry, I’ve always heard it’s very anti labour. Maybe the times are changing though…
I am not sure anybody is surprised, but I am happy to see so much solidarity.
I think you should lower your standards for people going forward.
You will be surprised less often that way.
This is literally the only way I’ll ever buy another Rockstar game.
Why? Even if it goes through, they’ve already shown their colours.
A company with a union that has been tested is better than one with no union. I have no faith that other companies would be better unless forced.
Unions can make even horrible companies treat their workers with decency… Or at least pay them for the bad treatment. Shop union.
You misunderstand, I’m all for hiring them back. I’m saying that shouldn’t change his boycott of rockstar
I understood. I’m saying there’s a whole lot less reason to boycott if they become union
If they cave to the union and make this right, then I won’t care how nice they are. Them being forced to be nice matters a lot more.
They’re still a horrible company in many ways. Forcing them to be better in this one aspect doesn’t change the fact they’re shitty
I’m not boycotting them because they’re shitty. I’m boycotting in solidarity with their union.
Fair enough
You don’t understand his deep need to play Rockstar games
Get around this by passing fucking laws people. The law has for too long favoured the rich and powerful over the forces that create the wealth (the people). You don’t need unions if you are protected by law. Skip the middle man. No salesman will enter your home. I’m only pro-union until the laws catch up (but they never seem to, right?).
