Apocadall posted:a large enough union doesn't give a gently caress what is legal On the afternoon of Wednesday, May 23, the sheriff of Lucas County decided to take action against the picketers. In front of a crowd which now numbered nearly 10,000, sheriff's deputies arrested Budenz and four picketers. As the five were taken to jail, a deputy began beating an elderly man. Infuriated, the crowd began hurling stones, bricks and bottles at the sheriff's deputies. A fire hose was turned on the crowd, but the mob seized it and turned the hose back on the deputies. Many deputies fled inside the plant gates, and Auto-Lite managers barricaded the plant doors and turned off the lights. The deputies gathered on the roof and began shooting tear gas bombs into the crowd. So much tear and vomit gas was used that not even the police could enter the riot zone. The mob retaliated by hurling bricks and stones through the plant's windows for seven hours. The strikers overturned cars in the parking lot and set them ablaze. The inner tubes of car tires were turned into improvised slingshots, and bricks and stones launched at the building. Burning refuse was thrown into the open door of the plant's shipping department, setting it on fire. In the early evening, the rioters attempted to break into the plant and seize the replacement workers, security personnel and sheriff's deputies. Police fired shots at the legs of rioters to try to stop them. The gunfire was ineffective, and only one person was (slightly) wounded. Hand-to-hand fighting broke out as the rioters broke into the plant. The mob was repelled, but tried twice more to break into the facility before they gave up late in the evening. More than 20 people were reported injured during the melee. Auto-Lite president Clement O. Miniger was so alarmed by the violence that he ringed his home with a cordon of armed guards.

i think its weird that programmers don't get credits like a movie when they make something, like humans.txt. unions could push for that. but i suppose bakers don't get credit for pies so i guess that happens everywhere

you have to actually be a worker to join a union, op if anything, computer touching should be treated more like a particularly distasteful habit like public urination

Most computer people are insufferable libertarians and think not having a union is a good thing.

Silicon Valley coders are dumbs who get seduced by superficial benefits like beer and NERF guns and willingly work long hours until overtime and put up with stupid management decisions. The lolbertarians would sabotage any attempts to create a programmer union

As someone who grew up in a union household, I can say my parents have a lot of trouble wrapping their mind around stuff like unstable employment and 401(k) instead of defined benefit pension. They are also boomers, so . . .
