Uniona are kinda a strange duck. Employers hate them, but technically shouldn’t care because if they were in fact not trying to fuck you constantly then unions wouldn’t get people very far.
On the other hand as a union worker myself, I’ve seen some of the laziest biggest pieces of shit not get fired because we’re union. So it isn’t sunshine and rainbows for either side.
I’d rather some lazy fucker gets to live comfortably with a living wage like anyone else than some lazy rich fucktard gets to live super duper comfy while everyone else suffers. Theres always low performer for whatever reason (its rarely pure lazyness), a healthy society can carry them.
You’re focused on the wrong enemy.

It doesnt need to be this way, but through corruption or other means this has happened.
Like the room in NYC with teachers that just sit in it all day because they cant be fired.
With the retroactive salary increase my union just got me, I could buy several gaming systems. [meme of dude tapping his head]
Huh, it’s apparently called “Roll Safe”: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/roll-safe
A bit of a side note, but whoever or whatever team created this clearly isn’t a gamer. While most modern consoles I believe are capable of playing music. Video game terminology wouldn’t refer to playing games as “The Latest Hit Sounds”.
you have misinterpreted it.
A new video game system with the latest hits sounds like fun.
it’s not “hit sounds” it’s “hits sounds”
I know craftsmen who could certainly build one for cheaper than that…
I think I pay 60€ per 3 months, so 240 per year, and I get a part of it back after submitting some form.
You also (probably) get regular raises and healthcare
Yes, our country has wage indexation and healthcare.
Delta pilots are unionized. Wide body captains are making over $700k/year
I can see why Delta doesn’t want the rest of their employees unionizing. I don’t see why they haven’t
Pilots make more money if they’re fatasses!? Where do I sign up!?
“Buy this thing so you don’t notice while we take advantage of you.”
I’m honestly surprised they aren’t telling us to buy something Delta sells to complete the grift.
Bread and circuses baby, bread and circuses
I’m not much for circuses, but I’d like to hear more about this “bread?”
Coincidentally, unions might be the only things that could still save the AAA side of the games industry…
I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.
You know who I trust to tell me how to live my life? Big faceless corporations. They obviously want what’s best for me more than they care about their bottom line.
For whoever reported this as Anti-Union Propaganda, you are correct. However, this post has been approved because it’s blatantly awful as a piece of propaganda. Anyone who thinks that this post provides a convincing argument, please add your comment to the thread to promote discussion. :)
Just to be clear, a system is not on subscription.
Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.
Bunch of fucking wankers.
$700 lol 😆…I wish . Try $4500/year and worth every penny. GO UNION!!!
Union dues are tax deductible where I am, quick ddg says no in the US?
Work expenses are tax deductible… Union dues are work expenses… Same with safety equipment such as steel toe boots and FR clothing, uniforms etc
So what you’re saying, is that Delta employees are so stupid, that they fall for this shit?
I was going to say that it got a lot of negative attention.
But seeing that Delta employees still aren’t fully unionized may mean you’re right.
They think gamers are fucking stupid. It’s too bad they are right.
Gamergate proved that they are indeed fucking stupid.
Really just people in general, not gamers in particular.
