        look man, I’ve tried those cheap Algerian knockoffs - most of the time, you’re lucky if you get 2 or 3 Marquees under the fucker before it starts warping, much less taking it onto the bourgeoise pigs and their fat necks.

        Don’t be fooled, you get what you pay for here.

    With the retroactive salary increase my union just got me, I could buy several gaming systems. [meme of dude tapping his head]

    I swear to all the fucking gods, I’m contrarian enough that even if I were anti union, this shitty attempt at manipulation would make me jump on board.

    Like, fuck, don’t insult my fucking intelligence like that

    For whoever reported this as Anti-Union Propaganda, you are correct. However, this post has been approved because it’s blatantly awful as a piece of propaganda. Anyone who thinks that this post provides a convincing argument, please add your comment to the thread to promote discussion. :)

    Its a shame no one puts a sticker that says Union dues are like an investment that will pay off in dividends way above 700

      Right? What kind of union isn’t benefiting their members to the tune of $700 a year? Especially one that’s charging those kinds of dues should well be able to.

    Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.

    Bunch of fucking wankers.

    Delta pilots are unionized. Wide body captains are making over $700k/year

    I can see why Delta doesn’t want the rest of their employees unionizing. I don’t see why they haven’t

    You know who I trust to tell me how to live my life? Big faceless corporations. They obviously want what’s best for me more than they care about their bottom line.

      I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.

        I’d expect more unionization to mechanically reduce games scope by increasing workers hourly compensation. And progressively remove authority from the MBA guys through giving more power to the devs

    “Buy this thing so you don’t notice while we take advantage of you.”

    I’m honestly surprised they aren’t telling us to buy something Delta sells to complete the grift.

    I joined a union after a previous manager started coming after me (cos they were a bit power mad) and I could only sue them when they fired me thanks to the union resources. Otherwise, I would have had to leave fuming but powerless like everyone else had. Unions are totally worth it!
