And guess what the max penalty for union busting is? They have to rehire the employees and pay a pittance of a fine. There's 0 reason for companies not to bust unions under the current law and that's why unions have been declining for decades.

I am horrible at taking notes and keeping track of what all transpired during an active meeting with a lot of people and agenda items, so this sounds amazing to me.

> Also very coincidental that the union had the statement prepared beforehand, but sure.
Union organizers getting fired for “unrelated” reasons is as old as unions themselves. So of course the union has prepared statements ready to go for situations like this - almost any union does. It’s like having a fire extinguisher in your kitchen.

Fuck 'em. If you can't be bothered to show up and do your damned job, you deserve to get canned, even if you are tossing off antiwork bullshit.

I'll take this one step further - the unions where I work only contain lazy people who get great pay and work less hard than every other branch.
Good for them, bad for the organization as a whole.
Unions in theory are great for workers, I've just yet to see a good working example that isn't corrupt.

Have no idea why you're being downvoted, must be the "anti-work" folks.

I was in a union one time in my 35 hears of working. It was my last job at a large grocery chain. We couldn't get fired unless you didn't work for 60 days, stole something or went to work for competition. We had a guy that would just leave mid shift to go drive for Uber. Wouldn't say anything to anyone, just fucking dip out. Management could only reprimand him. Him and I got into once when he tried calling me off a break 5 minutes early. I got reprimanded for telling him to fuck off in front of customers. I fucking hated that place.

He said she said between the employer and the union. If Apple had "cause" there's not much they can do about it. If you bite the hand that feeds you don't be surprised when they go looking for reasons to fire you.

He's way overestimating the value of Twitter in people's lives.
And just what happens if you can't vote in a Twitter poll anyway? If he only leaves paying members then it negates the value of the poll as a metric of public opinion.

But it could be them, so that’s not really possible. You wouldn’t believe any explanation anyway. But it could also not be them.

I don't think the article supports your "phone exploits too to built it in their app" claim, though.

Probably because
- It's a claim.
- The devil is in the detail. They were probably not shopping for an exploit, but for other monitoring software. The article indicates as much.
The "phone exploits too to built it in their app" from parent is not really supported in the article.

Twitter Gold Mark: For $50 a month you can Dislike other people's tweets and make them less likely to appear in other's feeds.
Twitter Diamond: For $200 a month you can delete one tweet a day posted by an unverified account.
Twitter Ultimate: For $44 Billion dollars (one time payment) you can be a little manchild bitch who throws a fit when people don't like your tweets as you burn the company to the ground.

I used to read the Atlantic every day. Then they went soft paywall so I read it in private-mode. Now they're hard paywall so I read other sites. I miss it, but I'm not adding on to the pile of subscriptions I already have.
