Damn, OP, what a fail of a link.

Some 85 employees of the first unionized Apple Store in Towson, Maryland will vote on the first union-negotiated agreement with Apple to improve working conditions on August 6th, 2024.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM-CORE) negotiated the tentative agreement between the retail workers and Apple.

The new agreement, which would be good for three years, includes better work-life balance on scheduling and pay raises. Both areas had been a complaint amongst the workers at the Towson Store.

Other improvements include rules on transparency, a severance clause, and limits on contracted employees. All current benefits are preserved, and there is an agreement to bargain over any future additions, the union said in a statement.

“We’re extremely proud to be the first union to take on this fight for Apple workers,” said IAM Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan. “The true partnership between the IAM, IAM CORE and Apple workers has led us to this historic moment.”

The workers at the Towson Apple Store voted to join the union in June of 2022. The 85 workers, the union and Apple began negotiating a formal agreement in May of 2023. After a year of what the union called stalling tactics by the store’s management, workers voted to authorize a strike sanction against the company in June 2024.

There are only a handful of Apple retail stores that have unionized staff. The staff at the store in Reston, Virginia documented Apple management’s stalling tactics in a secret video taken during negotiations.

The US National Labor Relations Board has twice ruled that Apple has broken the law with regards to labor relations. The NLRB found Apple guilty of denying unionized stores the same benefits it gave non-unionized stores, and also conducted illegal interrogations of union staff at its World Trade Center store in New York City.

A $10 Ubereats gift card will barely cover fees and taxes, let alone the actual item. What a clown ass gesture.

GOP supporters don’t care as long as it “owns the libs”. GOP can have all their benefits taken away and kick them in the head and the supporters will still find a way to blame everyone but themselves and their party.

It’s not impossible. Crowdstrike has done it recently to linux machines.

Maybe you should quit lemmy? It just sounds like you’re tired of it. It’s cool, not everyone likes lemmy. Take a break. Go check out some other sites. Come back later after lemmy and the apps develop more and try again. No need for dramatic posts. No one’s gonna mind.

The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is “engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion.”

Who tf does the catholic church think they are talking about “ideological colonization”? That’s the whole point of religion. Catholics are masters of “ideological colonization”. They’re just bitter it’s not working for them anymore.

Breakout the dial-up and ask your friends on irc for portals. Maybe there’s a geocities community for it.

If you can’t figure out the context by the general conversation, that says more about you than the little typo you’re complaining about.

I use a different VPN, but honestly, I wouldn’t use Nord only because of their ads and sponsorships. It’s kind of a lame excuse, but they wore me out with that.

Both Slide and Sync for reddit are discontinued, however, both are now being developed for lemmy.

There were a bunch of reasons people left. Personally, I thought the slashdot site redesign really sucked. They ruined the comment section. It was harder to follow comments and it seemed the amount of comments shown varied at random. Sometimes you would only see high rated comments, other times it showed all, even the troll comments. It was weird. And the look of the design was weird. Oversized margins that forced more scrolling. There were a few other things I didn’t like, but those were negligible.

There was also the sourceforge drama where slashdot buried negative articles about sourceforge, its sister company. Hard to trust a site much after.

Overall, its still usable. I still stop in once in a while to read tech news, but that’s it. Those stop ins are getting less and less, too. HN is my main go to for tech stuff.

GT2 was one of the first racing games I ever got into. My old housemates and I would play for hours on end. That’s a great haul.
