  6. Wage and hour violations are prevalent in LA's creative industries, including Carthay's studios. Even without major lawsuits, creatives are at risk. California law mandates written contracts for freelance work over $250 and protects against misclassification. Being proactive about compliance can save you from costly disputes later. Know your rights and take action to safeguard your livelihood.

  9. .> Minamata disease was above all a disease of the spirit to which Japan succumbed as growth, money, material wealth come to be valued above the natural environment or humanity. Forgetting the basic principle that the purpose of economic activity is so that human society might flourish, MITI and the Economic Planning Agency decided that, even if a few people were to fall ill or die from mercury poisoning, corporations should be protected. The authorities in Minamata and some residents seemed to think that, even if a minority of people from the town had to be sacrificed to the disease, Chisso Corporation should be protected as the major employer in the town. The actions of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, that was supposed to protect the health and wellbeing of the people, and of the Environment Ministry, whose supposed rationale was the preservation of nature, including not only humans, cats and dogs, but fish and shellfish, birds, and all creatures, was inexplicable to ordinary citizens. Why, as soon as doubts were raised about the industrial effluent, did they not take steps to stop it? Why, sorry for not having warned people at an early stage and having failed to prevent more people from being infected, did they not make sincere efforts to help people? While they resorted to the excuse that there was nothing an individual official could do about it, the disease became rampant and enormous suffering and death was caused.

    Externatlities. If
    War is the Health of The State mabye Disease is the Health of The Corporation. Sometimes it feels like one concept like E.K. Hunt's "the invisible foot" or the recently(?) named business practice of "wage theft" could be used to explain the current system or "global order" or "economy." "Wage Theft" could be expanded to include the thieving of time, health, peace of mind all stolen to profit pyramid organizations...

  10. CW: wow The Iconic does not sound nice

    “Of all the terrible places I’ve worked, I have never felt so devalued, disrespected, unappreciated and unheard as at The Iconic … the company pushes their #peopleareourgreatestassest comms down your throat while making you feel so small and replaceable every day,” they said.

    Bugger. Must have been taken down by Court Order. BHP wins this round. Looks like money (use of #Silks) beats free-press again, as the author foresaw. It may have been archived somewhere, but that’s beyond my paygrade. The article was very specific about the #Fraud and #WageTheft perpetrated by BHP and its associates. Ah, well, we’ll get to know all about it when the case is adjudicated in the highest Court of the land, because with billions of $$ at stake, you can bet BHP will appeal every judgement along the way. #FuckTheRich

  13. Here we go… this is what big #Corporations and their associated #Workforce sub-contracting is all about. #Fleecing #Workers and walking away from #DutyOfCare using #LegalAttactDogs and flooding the courts with legal counters backed up with ample funding to drown out #Litigation (There are new laws — anti SLAPP? — in the UK to prevent this from happening, but not here) and out-spend legitimate lawsuits. Laws to protect the wealthy and control everyone else.

    “This has all the hallmarks of strategic litigation for commercial advantage. BHP, with its army of hundreds of PR staff, refused to respond to repeated approaches from Michael West Media. Yet they were lightning fast to sue. They’re weaponising our public courts — funded by taxpayers — to silence a simple enquiry into potential systemic wage theft. All while pocketing around $622 million a year in taxpayer-funded diesel fuel tax credits.”

  25. @Elizafox FWIW, the psychology behind wage discrimination is pretty weird.

    A lot of people believe wage-paying to not be a side of a commercial transaction, as the capitalism's official doctrine says, but funding of a lifestyle "appropriate" to the labourer's social standing. And at that point, all the sexist and classist ideas about what kind of people "deserve" what levels of living come in. Oftentimes, #WageTheft is "justified" by the same mechanism: since laws require paying a Designated Poverty-Deserving Person(tm) more than poverty wage, a manager believes the laws to be wrong and deserving to be ignored. You never see a major company's CEO's wage being thieved: #Patriarchy's ideas about a CEO's expected lifestyle say that he [sic] deserves everything that he can get.

    Authoritarian ideologies don't just do "It's impossible to do X, therefore it's very important to harshly punish everybody who does X", they also go "Inequity happens naturally, theferore we must work hard to ensure that inequity happens".
