San Francisco, 1992 – LGBT Wobblies picket outside the EndUp following the lockout of several janitors who were attempting to unionize. LGBT workers fought throughout the early 1990s to organize the EndUp, and won a settlement from the bosses – who apparently feared a loss in court of a suit brought against them by workers fired for attempting to unionize – in the middle of the decade. A 1995 IWW report read:
As a ruling caste, gay establishment bosses simultaneously maintain a stranglehold on the community’s resources while simultaneously proclaiming that “we’re all family.” Fiercely anti-union, gay bar owners also publish the local gay papers and own the boutiques in “our” neighborhood, where sometimes we get to work.
Wait… Am I supposed to think that it’s bad that people are overcoming major hurdles in life to be successful?
No, you’re supposed to think it’s bad that cases of underprivileged people being forced to push themselves to extremely unhealthy extents due to the constraints of this terrible society are being celebrated and used against other underprivileged people as an excuse to call them lazy.
THATS NOT EFFICIENCY THATS THE OPPOSITE
There’s a certification called “Six Sigma” that certifies you to be able to go into any field with the knowledge and ability to increase productivity and efficiency, and NO ONE LISTENS TO THEM ANYMORE
Here’s a picture of a section that blew me away as I was not expecting for this to be explicitly said:
Money is a DEMOTIVATOR! The more your workers are worried about money the less productive they are. It’s been studied for year after year. ALL of these things are obvious, but rarely implemented.
If anyone is curious as to how Motorola survived the recession that hit us after Bush?
BY NOT REDUCING PAY, AND CONTINUING TO TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES A CERTAIN WAY
Even though their financial advisors said they would lose millions of dollars for the next quarters, the CEO refused and pretty much said “I don’t care what we lose at this very second, or the next year. You’re trying to save the company 2 million dollars, and that’s nothing. We’d make that back quickly. But by continuing with the plan we’ve been doing, this company will still exist in 10 years. If not it won’t. I’m not cutting pay, or vacation time.” And it worked.
Capitalism has been fed to us for years through propaganda and misinformation and this is why we are where we are.
