Shown us that he uses #American citizens as his #bargaining power. Both in #threatening us here at home and in dangling our #economic power soon to be nothing in front of other disgusting people.

A quotation from Robert Heinlein

Politics is just a name for the way we get things done … without fighting. We dicker and compromise and everybody thinks he has received a raw deal, but somehow after a tedious amount of talk we come up with some jury-rigged way to do it without getting anybody’s head bashed in. That’s politics.

Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
Podkayne of Mars, ch. 4 [Tom Fries], Worlds of IF magazine (1962-11)

Bargaining and Inequality in the Labor Market https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:upj:weupjo:25-413&r=&r=eur
"… #bargaining is pervasive: 80% of workers are in firms which say they differentiate pay between workers they perceive to have similar productivity. The typical firm is willing to differentiate pay between 6 and 12%
… firm productivity does not predict whether a firm engages in individual wage bargaining (or by how much it is willing to differentiate wages), but labor market factors do, consistent with theoretical models which emphasize replaceability or tightness in driving frms’ decisions to bargain
… differences in bargaining behavior lead to wage #inequality within the firm: residual gender wage gaps are 3 percentage points larger in firms which bargain. Providing information on frms’ bargaining positions—as proposed by multiple policymakers—would not suffce to close between-group differences in worker behavior: we still see differences, e.g., between men and women, in a hypothetical situation in which we equalize pay information."

National Labor Relations Act

FINDINGS AND POLICIES

 Section 1.[§151.] The denial by some employers of the right of employees to organize
and the refusal by some employers to accept the procedure of collective bargaining
lead to strikes and other forms of industrial strife or unrest,
which have the intent or the necessary effect of burdening or obstructing commerce by

(a) impairing the efficiency, safety, or operation of the instrumentalities of commerce;

(b) occurring in the current of commerce;

(c) materially affecting, restraining, or controlling the flow of raw materials or manufactured or processed goods from or into the channels of commerce, or the prices of such materials or goods in commerce;

or (d) causing diminution of employment and wages in such volume as substantially to impair or disrupt the market for goods flowing from or into the channels of commerce.

 The 🔸#inequality of bargaining #power 🔸between
🔹employees who do not possess full freedom of association or actual liberty of contract
🔹and employers who are organized in the corporate or other forms of ownership association
💥substantially burdens and affects the flow of commerce,
💥and tends to aggravate recurrent business #depressions, by depressing wage rates and the purchasing power of wage earners in industry
and by preventing the stabilization of competitive wage rates and working conditions within and between industries.

 Experience has proved that ♦️protection by law of the right of employees to #organize and #bargain #collectively
♦️safeguards commerce from injury, impairment, or interruption, and promotes the flow of commerce by removing certain recognized sources of industrial strife and unrest,
⭐️by encouraging practices fundamental to the friendly adjustment of industrial disputes arising out of differences as to wages, hours, or other working conditions,
⭐️and by restoring equality of bargaining power between employers and employees.

 Experience has further demonstrated that certain practices by some labor organizations, their officers, and members
have the intent or the necessary effect of burdening or obstructing commerce
by preventing the free flow of goods in such commerce through strikes and other forms of industrial unrest or through concerted activities which impair the interest of the public in the free flow of such commerce.

The elimination of such practices is a necessary condition to the assurance of the rights herein guaranteed

✅ It is declared to be the policy of the United States to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce
and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred
by encouraging the practice and procedure of #collective #bargaining
and by protecting the exercise by workers of 🌟full freedom of association,🌟 self- organization, and 🌟designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection

#Sugar Promises

Excerpt:
"There was even a moment, not too long ago, when things might have changed.

In 2019, the newspaper The Hindu BusinessLine reported on an unusually high number of hysterectomies among female sugar-cane cutters in Maharashtra. In response, a state lawmaker, along with a team of researchers, launched an investigation. They surveyed thousands of women.

Their report that year described horrible working conditions and directly linked the high hysterectomy rate to the sugar industry. Unable to take time off during pregnancy or for doctor visits, women have no choice but to seek the surgery, the report concluded.

By happenstance, Coca-Cola issued its own report that year. After unrelated accusations out of Brazil and Cambodia about land-grabbing, Coca-Cola had hired a firm to audit its supply chain in several countries.

The auditors, from a group called Arche Advisors, visited 123 farms in Maharashtra and a neighboring state with a small sugar industry.

They found children at about half of them. Many had simply migrated with their families, but Arche’s report found children cutting, carrying and bundling sugar cane at 12 farms.

Nearly every laborer interviewed by reporters said children commonly worked in the sugar fields. The youngest ones do chores. Older ones perform all the work of cane cutters. A Times photographer saw children working in the fields.

The 2019 report includes an interview with a 10-year-old girl who “loves to go to school,” but instead works alongside her parents.

“She picks the cut cane and stacks it into a bundle, which her parents then load onto the truck,” the report says.

Arche noted that Coca-Cola suppliers did not provide toilets or shelter. And it cited “flags in the area of forced labor.” Only a few of the mills it surveyed had policies on bonded or child labor, and those applied only to the mills, not the farms.

The government report called on factories to provide water, toilets, basic sanitation and the minimum wage.

Few if any changes have been carried out.

Major buyers like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola say they hold their suppliers to exacting standards for labor rights. But that promise is only as good as their willingness to monitor thousands of farms at the base of their supply chains.

That rarely happens. An executive at NSL Sugars, a Coca-Cola and PepsiCo franchisee supplier that has mills around the country, said that soda-company representatives could be scrupulous in asking about sugar quality, production efficiency and environmental issues. Labor issues in the fields, he said, would almost never come up.

Soda-company inspectors seldom if ever visit the farms from which NSL sources its sugar cane, the executive said. The PepsiCo franchisee, Varun Beverages, did not respond to calls for comment.

Mill owners, too, rarely visit the fields. Executives at Dalmia and NSL Sugars say they keep virtually no records on their laborers.

“No one from the Dalmia factory has ever visited us in the tents or the fields,” said Anita Bhaisahab Waghmare, a laborer in her 40s who has worked at farms supplying Dalmia all her life and said she had a hysterectomy that she now regretted.

Ed Potter, the former head of global workplace rights at Coca-Cola, said the company had conducted many human rights audits during his tenure. But with so many suppliers, oversight can seem random.

“Imagine your hands going through some sand,” he said. “What you deal with is what sticks to your fingers. Most sand doesn’t stick to your fingers. But sometimes you get lucky.”

Sanjay Khatal, the managing director of a major lobbying group for sugar mills, said that mill owners could not provide any worker benefits without being seen as direct employers. That would raise costs and jeopardize the whole system.

“It is the very existence of the industry which can come into question,” he said."

21 #Starbucks Stores Plan To Form #Unions In 1-Day Blitz

The #union #WorkersUnited has #organized roughly 400 stores, but is locked in a bitter #bargaining fight with the #coffee chain.

I've been thinking about the whole "bargaining with God" that people sometimes try to do, and it's occurred to me that there's a difference between making a deal with the devil, and asking God to do something for you.

As I see it, when you make a deal with the devil you always have to offer something of yourself in return. In most examples from classical literature, this is typically your soul, but it could be your health, your wealth, your relationships... You're saying, "If you do this for me, I will <insert thing you're willing to do or sacrifice here>."

If you phrase your request that way, then I think you can only ever be talking to the devil. And according to most literature on the subject, the devil can't be loopholed, and the devil always collects. :P

But when you ask God to do something for you, you must realise that there's nothing you could possibly offer Him, because everything you are and everything you have belongs to Him to begin with. If that really is the case, then the things you ask will be aligned with His will, and you'll likely receive them. If it's not the case, then the things you ask will probably come from your own selfish desires in some way, and it doesn't matter what you offer Him in return, you're not going to get it.

The Bible says that when you ask God for something that aligns with His will, He will grant your request. It's discerning His will that's sometimes tricky... And sometimes, you might ask Him for something that is aligned with His will, just not *yet*.

It's the old saying that when you ask God for something, He will respond in three possible ways: "Yes, no, or wait."

It's often difficult to decide which of those three it is. Especially if He's telling you to "Wait".

But I digress. The point being, you can't bargain with God. If you belong to Him, there's nothing more you could possibly offer. If you don't, then you need to put yourself right with Him before asking Him anything. And no, it does no good to promise to give your life to Him *if* <xyz>, because He expects your devotion to be unconditional, not given only because He first did something for you.
