No surprise here: the cloud is running on underpaid, temporary contacts. Don't believe new data center coming to town will bring stable jobs!
at least #google let the workers to unionize, so we could learn about this story thanks to #workerunions

#Subsidizing #Clearcuts.
Communities and forest workers need a new social contract, not a corporate bailout.https://watershedsentinel.ca/article/subsidizing-clearcuts/
In June, USW Local 1-1937 went on strike in Tree Farm License 64 because the company insists on hiring non-union contractors to do union work. The new TFL is held by Western Forest Products and La-Kwa sa muqw, a partnership of four Vancouver Island First Nations: Tlowitsis, We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, and K’omoks.
Forest industry losses will continue because the Canadian lumber industry is barely profitable. Almost all the old growth forests are gone. The easy-to-reach, low-elevation, high-value trees were taken years ago. What’s left is the “guts and feathers,” as Wilderness Committee campaign director Joe Foy says.
It costs politicians nothing to claim that this bailout will benefit workers. But the only thing they can guarantee is a new round of austerity: cutting wages and benefits and replacing union workers with non-union contractors – the same gambit that led to the Steelworkers’ strike.

#Historical #UnionSolidarity #Art.
“The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin. June 30, 1917.The symbol of the clinched fist has been a symbol of #solidarity as early as 1917. “The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin is an illustration referring to the #IWW (Industrial Workers of The World). Industrial unionism began when skilled workers were displaced by modern machinery and the #monopolization of industries. It was a union that believed industries should be controlled by the workers, benefiting the many instead of enriching the few, and create better working conditions.
In this image, the workers are uniting their arms and creating one giant fist, which represents solidarity and #unity, while holding tools, representing manual labor, while factories in the backdrop symbolize the machinery displacing the workers.

GWU Montreal threw a button-making party! Thanks to CSN for hosting us! Say no to AI in games, mass layoffs and crunch, and fly high the colors of workers’ solidarity with these new designs! What do you think of the result?
GWU Montréal a organisé une party de fabrication de macarons! Merci à la #CSN de nous accueillir! Au menu: lutte contre l’IA, les licenciements de masse, le crunch et, évidemment, appel à la solidarité entre travailleu·ses·rs! Que pensez-vous du résultat?

People working in the #USEmpire must be so scared of expressing their views about @palestine . From all I read, anyone unwilling to tuck their tails exposes themselves to discrimination in the least; this includes Presidents! And the #scotus seems to behave like a revengeful goon. In such an atmosphere, it is incredible how the #studentprotests were able to face brutal police assaults!
Clearly, the World won't be free as long as the #Workerunions in the West are not Free. I wish them more power
