Reply to comment by halfanothersdozen in Apple illegally fired five labor activists, union says | The workers, who were disciplined and fired for attendance-related issues, believe they were let go because of their union organizing by chrisdh79
Except that you can challenge the "cause". Having a "cause" doesn't mean that the cause is either valid or true. Union busters would use reasonably sounding arguments until you look more closely. (Like he has been doing that for 4 years, so we fired him. But we only fired him when he started to do union forming activities)

This is a big fat lie. People can't select where they work in, since big companies have monopsonies and current economic conditions do not allow small competitors to exist.

What you say and what the article says do not concur:
> Gemma Wyatt, who worked at Apple in Kansas City for seven years and began organizing at her store last spring, was put on a disciplinary notice after arriving late for her shift by an average of one minute, three times in a month, she said. Apple fired her in early February after two more attendance-related issues.
So, please provide sources for your statements.

What they really did is make copyright infringement too hard to trace, and stole everyone on the internet's content. It's theft really, but on a less pessimistic note, part of you is inside an AI the whole world can talk to now, if you posted anything useful enough in the last 20 years. That's weirdly interesting.

But that's exactly where it's gone and is already at. Bing's chat searches the web using regular Bing, then use GPT4 to summarize what it searched into an answer based on the input. SEO and paid search placement is already what defines the results of the search that GPT4 reasons over.

You can spot patterns and it becomes obvious fairly quickly who is legitimately having a one off issue, and someone who is playing the system and just making excuses. The company very quickly at the start of the pandemic provided everyone with hotspots etc because of the constant home internet connection\wifi problems.
Part of the problem is corporate policy itself. I don’t know how much you know about Sam’s Club and Walmart corporate policy but it’s very hard to fire the lazy\problem employees in the corporate\home office space. There’s a whole verbal warning, three written warnings\write ups and coaching etc before you can even be considered for being fired. And the things you have to do to even get a write up have to be ongoing issues, and are pretty egregious from my point of view in the construction industry where people can get fired on the spot for things.

In theory they should defend their members from everything that isn’t outright illegal, being lazy isn’t illegal (thankfully) so I think that the union is just following its own guidelines to the point where this can benefit them.
If this ends up in court or in front of the union ethics committee then I can see them being blacklisted from the unions

No I'm saying LIBERTARIANS think contract law is end-all be-all and you sound like one of them with how you are practically pleasuring yourself about contract law.

All they have to do is find a portion of their base that agrees with their notion while not sustaining any large financial losses and it will happen.

Okay, so how do you propose we get this pre-Covid remote work data? Because I’m out of ideas, and I’d rather have a study to test out rather than nothing to test out. The study having a result you don’t like doesn’t make it untrue, but testing it and getting different results might.
