  1. 📢 Wow, the brave souls at Wikimedia decided they want a union, because who knew editing Wikipedia required so much collective bargaining? 🙄 Maybe they can negotiate for more cat pictures on the homepage while they're at it. 🐱📚

  2. This is the sort of thing that really pisses me off.
    Coles using Palantir to crunch huge amounts of data about its stores, workers and suppliers just feels wrong. We’re talking about a company best known for selling groceries, not running a surveillance operation.
    Thankfully people pushed back. More than 85,000 signed the campaign, shareholders got involved, and Coles has now said it won’t renew the Palantir contract beyond 2027.
    Maybe companies need to remember that not everything that can be monitored should be monitored.
    And that ordinary people still have a voice.

  8. the biggest shoplifters have payroll departments

    when a poor person takes from a rich institution, we call the police. when a rich institution takes from a worker, we ask whether they opened a ticket.

  19. I still remember that my therapist suggested something to me, like, not because I don't have anything to offer in exchange for money. It's more because my qualities are not being rewarded (honesty, patience, and many more).

  24. CW: CW: AI, strong language

    Really, I have had quite enough of AI being shoved into every bloody thing.

    AI is unethical. It kills jobs. It concentrates power and wealth in the hands of people who already have far too much of both.

    And yet a certain type of person seems to fervently believe that the answer to every conceivable problem is: MORE AI.

    My fridge has a door. It does not need a fucking chatbot.

    Fucking clankers. 🙄

  25. If I am going to get a job, I will interview the employer.
    - Daily food, drinks, transport, and shelter must be available.
    - An ableism- and bigotry-free environment.
    - A respectful environment.
    - Non-coercive job.
    - Clear monthly salary instead of ranges.

  28. Colorado #Slaughterhouse Workers Ratify New Contract

    April 17, 2026

    On April 12, 2026, members of United Food and Commercial #Workers (#UFCW) Local 7 ratified a new agreement with the JBS Swift beef processing plant in Greeley, #Colorado. A #union press release announcing the vote — with 93% in favor — said the contract contained "all gains, countless improvements, and not a single concession."

    "This ... is a testament to the incredible resolve of our members," said Local 7 president Kim Cordova. "These workers stood together on the picket line for three weeks, through extreme weather, because they knew their worth and refused to be disrespected."

    April 6, 2026

    “The company walked away,” Cordova told the crowd of more than 800 #workers from the day shift picket lines. “They believed that you would not walk out on strike.”

    But of the 3,800 workers in the plant represented by the #union, 94% did walk on March 16, marking the first major packinghouse strike in 40 years.[1]

    The workers’ action had an impact, according to the union. About 60% of the cattle earmarked for JBS went to competitors as the company tried to operate with the remaining hourly workforce and supervisors.

    “The problem is the way we are being treated,” Hector Vargas told World-Outlook before the April 3 union meeting at the parking lot. “To keep up with work means taking a beating. And you cannot go to the bathroom. They make you wait a long time — if they let you go.”

  30. RE: https://mastodon.social/@Proletarianews/116003296096542930
    #lang_pt

    Never has there been so much talk about democracy as there is today, and yet true democracy is not practiced in any country. Democracy is only a screen covering up the dictatorship of capital. Even before the war, the conservative English writer Fullerton called France a “financial monarchy.” Capitalism exploits democracy because this form makes it easier to conceal its iron dictatorship. The government, parliament, and press are merely clerks, servants of financial and industrial groups and trusts.

    In his reply to Kautsky, who contrasted the proletarian dictatorship with “pure democracy,” Lenin emphasizes that one cannot speak of “pure democracy” as long as there are clearly defined classes. There is only class democracy. “Pure democracy is a false phrase used by liberals to fool workers. History knows bourgeois democracy, which replaces feudalism, and proletarian democracy, which replaces bourgeois democracy.”

    The history of the 19th and 20th centuries, even before the war, showed us what the much-vaunted “pure democracy” under capitalism really is. Marxists have always argued that the more developed and “pure” democracy is, the more open, brutal, and merciless the class struggle becomes, and the more obvious the oppression of capital and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The Dreyfus affair in republican France, the bloody reprisals of the capitalist-armed mercenary army against striking workers in the free and democratic American republic, — these and thousands of other similar facts reveal the truth that the bourgeoisie tries in vain to hide, namely, that even in the most democratic republics, terror and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie reign supreme, manifesting themselves openly whenever the power of capital seems to be losing ground.

    The imperialist war of 1914–1918 proved once and for all, even to the backward workers in the freest republics, that genuine bourgeois democracy is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Tens of millions of people were killed to enrich German and English millionaires and billionaires, and a military dictatorship of the bourgeoisie was established in even the most free republics.

  32. The Democrats’ Disastrous Shutdown Strategy: A Shameful Weaponization of Human Suffering

    The government shutdown of 2025 has been one of the most shameful episodes in modern American politics, not just because of the dysfunction it exposed, but because of how both parties — especially the Democrats — turned human suffering into a political strategy. For over 40 days, the federal government was paralyzed, workers went without pay, vital services were halted, and millions of Americans were left hanging in uncertainty. All for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. When the dust […]
