1 in 14 migrant workers at a northern WI green bean plant died of COVID after company officials and gov regulators failed to take critical measures to protect employees during one of the deadliest outbreaks in the US food processing industry https://t.co/I1nyT6Q1IL via @mariajpsl
it's always "freeloading workers need to give up their $300 unemployment checks" and never "freeloading corporations need to give up their $1.9 trillion in tax breaks"
AT&T cut 42,000 jobs since 2017.
Since then it saved $30 billion through tax cuts, spent $152 billion to buy DirectTV & Time Warner, gave investors $44 billion in dividends & gave its ex-CEO a $64M pension.
Now it's buying Discovery.
There's always money, just not for workers.
I've worked straight through every day of the pandemic at a stable middle class wage and I've never once thought "boy those folks getting by on unemployment sure have it good," so I dunno maybe UI is only an incentive not to work if the work was exploitative to begin with
