Mega corporations announce they will give people tiny raises. Better crown Trump the greatest leader of all time and never question our brand of capitalism again. I am a smart person.
EVERY worker at AT&T -- down to the most menial employee -- is getting an extra $1000.
I get that you're bitter that this has already produced more wealth for working class people than any socialist policies Bernie or the Democrats proposed, but no reason to be deliberately dishonest by calling the raises/bonuses tiny. Clearly Mother Government is not needed to make workers better off.
On Thursday, leaders of the Local 6360 Union held a meeting to offer help and share resources with workers who have been laid off. The meeting falls on the same night AT&T announced $1,000 bonuses for more than 200,000 U.S. employees in response to the GOP Tax Plan passing. Those recently notified of these job cuts say the bonuses seem like a slap in the face.
How can you lay people off and then give them $1,000 and say that theres going to be more jobs available? I wish someone could tell me how thats possible because I have to explain that to my members, and right now at this time of year, this is a difficult pill to swallow, said Joseph Blanco, president of Local 6360 Communication Workers of America Union.
And not a tear was shed for union fat cats losing their job. Want a job? Dont join a union. There is zero reason you are worth 30+% more than the next person just because you knew someone that got you a hall card. ---
