To parrot what Ive heard older guys in my industry say (which is extremely non union friendly, but which does work with other industries who are heavily unionized often), the issues with unions are:

1) they essentially force everybody on the site in a certain position to join and pay fairly large dues...with pretty bad consequences if you refuse
2) you climbing up the pay scale ladder is purely experience based, not based on merit/initiative/skill
3) because of reason number 2, youll run into coworkers that are either inept or extraordinarily lazy
4) whatever the union decides, you gotta abide by

None of this is really my opinion, just shit that Ive heard thrown around.

the union can ask you to join, but they legally can't force you to, and there are no consequences, at least in my workplace. You either join or don't join, the only downside of not joining is that you basically have no voice when it comes to voting time and *sometimes* if you want the union to get involved in something, you will take lower priority, as long as they can prove they acted in good faith it isn't illegal if they uhh don't pursue your case as ruthlessly as they would a paying member.

But the dues here aren't all that large either, it's like 18 bucks out of my paycheck

I've worked retail and worked places without a union, and even though i was productive as i could be, i was still fired/let go from those positions.

So yeah, the Union does protect unproductive people, but that's because they have to protect everyone. It's not like they sit in a room and go "How can we make it so the workplace gets nothing done and keep unproductive employees here forever"
and with the Janus decision(btw he got a job advocating against unions right after he sued AFSCME and is now collecting pension that the union fought to get, irony huh?) Unions HAVE to represent everyone in good faith, regardless of if they are a member or not

I've never really been in the category of people being exploited so I guess I can't really relate, but as a bystander, it annoys me to know that employees who are contractually obligated to do a job for an agreed pay rate, can suddenly decide they aren't happy with the terms of that agreement and choose to not do it (and disrupt the business and their customers).

you know people don't just go on strike immediately right?

i saw a list of 36 things unions fought for, and man... people would be acting differently if we were missing any of that.

If I ever have to get into it with management while acting as a union rep and they say something about unions, i'll say "So don't ever use a sick or vacation day again, since that came from a union."

Haha unions suck why would I want to pay dues for those people who do nothing?

*complains about lack of raises, sues for union not wanting to represent them if they have a grievance or get reprimanded*

the weird thing is that a lot of contracts that are argued for by Unions, go for supervisors and management as well, I guess when you get brainwashed into heavy corporate culture in America you just like to beat down the little guy regardless of if they're on your side or not.

If nothing else, this movie succeeds in being completely unpredictable (so far). I have no idea what direction it's going to go. Is Mysterio a good guy? Why is Jake Gyllenhaal so damn likable? Are those really elementals? Is it all a projection he's doing to be a hero? Should we take what he said at face value? Did they really consider this earth the 616 version?

Very curious to find out but I can't help agreeing with pete that it's ridiculous they're using this kid for what's going on when there's literally a hundred heroes in that cheesy endgame screenshot where they all pose for the final battle. It was one thing when the adult Avengers didn't use each other for their solo movies, but this?

Stark put all of his faith in him. Also they literally explain where the other Avengers are in like the first 30 minutes of the movie or something

It seems there was more to Franklin's story than what we got. He and Lamar are talking about setting up their own gang, but nothing comes of it. In Franklin's trailer there was more hood/gang stuff shown like gnag fights and gang members getting arrested.

i'm sure there was supposed to be more, but the game was already pretty lengthy

it got kind of stale whenever the trio got together as it would just be Trevor and Michael arguing, and Franklin breaking it up. Franklin gets some of the best missions in the game though so it is slightly made up for. The assassination missions being a gold mine for making money

Everyone treated him like he was an asshole for wanting to make it out of the hood, and hell his ex-gf pretty much tried to send him to certain death to get Lamars dumbass back from the Ballers.

R* tried to make Michael the "main" with the bullet time, majority of the story focus, and just overall more focus including usually having more money than Frank and trevor

Trevor was cool at first then got kind of annoying and I guess he is funny and relatable if you are deranged or an edgelord but even switching to him in free roam gets old with his haha so funny random situation things.

Michaels family arc was them leaving due to them being spoiled shits, with his wife cheating on him repeatedly and not understanding why Mike would get so angry about it

Franklin at least tried to do things better, even if it was just white collar crime gangbanging instead of selling drugs

On second thought, maybe Ash's ability to win battles despite his massive incompetence should be something that is praised. He can go into leagues with unevolved Pokemon whose only trait is that they're slightly more tenacious than the average pokemon, while doing dumb ass shit like having Pikachu shock his own Swellow in a 2v2 until it gets "thunder armor" in a move that not even the most experienced of trainers would ever think of or consider a legit strategy

There's a theory going around -- well, one that's existed for awhile now -- that one of the allies is secretly betraying their confidences to Orochi/Kaido/etc. It'll be interesting to see if this happens. Hopefully it isn't Trafalgar "The GOAT" Law and, if the theory winds up true, the betrayer's more expendible.

no way it would be. him & luffy risked their lives together, and we got laws flashback with two people telling him there will be someone out there for him if he lives. Luffy is the whole reason he even got to see his crew again. Anyways Law wouldn't know anything. He wouldn't know anything about Raizo, hell I don't even think he was there for that reveal, he doesn't know Komurasaki and Hiyori are the same people, or where she would be considering he never met up with Luffys group again. Hell I don't even think he heard the story in chapter 920 as he was sitting outside
