Nonsense job titles like "Lead Shower Door Installer" or "Carpet Shampoo Manager" are costing workers $4 billion in overtime every year.
If you make over $455 a week and are labeled a manager, you're not legally entitled to overtime, and companies are exploiting this loophole.

As announced on Monday, we have made the difficult decision to stop paying wages and premiums for healthcare benefits for employees who are striking. Up to this point, we have continued to compensate our faculty and staff who have chosen to exercise their right to strike.

The United States, sadly, is the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick days. Pathetic. In a modern civilized society, it should be a no-brainer that if you or your family gets sick, you should have paid sick leave. End of discussion.

This is a legacy defining moment for Joe Biden. He is going down as one of the biggest disappointments in labor history.
Quote Tweet
I'm calling on Congress to pass legislation immediately to adopt the Tentative Agreement between railroad workers and operators.
Let me be clear: a rail shutdown would devastate our economy. Without freight rail, many U.S. industries would shut down.

“Pro-labor” until workers actually try to take action against the oligarchs who have bled them dry for decades. Instead of calling on greedy railroad bosses to accept the workers’ modest demands, this administration has sold rail workers out at every turn. Cowardly and shameful
Quote Tweet
As a proud pro-labor President, I'm reluctant to override the ratification procedures and views of those who voted against the agreement.
But in this case – where the economic impact of a shutdown would hurt millions – I believe Congress must use its powers to adopt this deal.

As per , the number of fired software engineers could be around 50.
These are 50 engineers who would have gotten an additional 2 months’ severance had they refused to commit to the “hardcore” Twitter.
Why give worse packages to those believing in “Twitter 2.0”?
