Hmm. It's been a thing for every union I've been a part of, but it makes sense it wouldn't be ALL of them that do it. I'm sure some just simply aren't large enough to do it like that.

"unprecedented"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...
You're literally partially making sure you still get PAID when shit happens.
Very good point, and I honestly wonder how common that knowledge even is.
Then again, almost all anti-union propaganda hinges on people not knowing enough about the subject to call it out. As with most propaganda.
Don't get me started on pop vs soda...
I say soda, wife says pop. We have a little exchange of "correcting" each other a couple times a month.
Otherwise may their deaths have brought Glory to their House, and secured their place in Sto'Vo'Kor.

Yeah, but he didn't do that himself, he commanded other people to do it for him.
And bossing people around was like... 99% of his job.
The other 1% was bashing men and elves like piñata.
Lived from Virginia to Ohio, Indiana Illinois and Michigan, also heard "can't see the forest FOR the trees" which I always figures was a more colloquial change.
Legit had someone from my last job start going on a break room tirade about how "those damn unions just want your money" but strangely had no rebuttal when asked why giving them 2% of your paycheck is a bad thing when they negotiated your RAISE to be 15% and your health benefits add up to an additional savings of around 20%.
I'm SO SORRY you're getting extra money and healthcare rather than the NOTHING you had before.
Nowadays I like to print up cards with unionizing information on them, facts vs myths, links to read up more, anti-union tactics, links to join unions, links to find HELP setting up a union, and basically anything I could cram into a business card. Now I leave about 10 of them any time I go into a non union store.
Given how previous management has reacted to "someone" leaving these in the break room, I'm sure I've caused a few sleepless nights.

"Im an american (company)!"
"so go back to America"

Could be a person at an airport, a shipping container in a port, or an internet packet traveling down a series of intercontinental tubes to an isp. Result is still the same.
To do business in another country, you have to play by their rules. Literally nobody else on the planet gives a shit if it's "an American company". Hell, not even most AMERICANS give that much of a shit.
I once spent 6 months leading up to summer to plan out a campaign that would take us 3 months to get through, and while I allowed the team to do whatever they wanted, let's just say a few villages grew legs to plop down ahead of their path. Not everything was planned, but the bulk of it was there and details could be filled in as we go and they become relevant. Always keep notes.
Then one day, one of the players couldn't make it, so we still met but with 5 instead of 6. Nobody wanted to play without 6, so they asked me to pull out a side one if I had one. I did not.
So improvisation it is.
Afterward they asked if they could restart and play THIS campaign instead because they felt I had put more thought into it than the previous one.
I'm gonna be honest, I finished the campaign but that comment killed my passion for it because they essentially told me "your plans are shit, we'd rather just have rehashed tired movie plots instead"
It's been years and my dice still sit on my shelf, notebooks boxed up I don't even know where. I don't think any of my character sheets survived my last move either.
I guess I don't have a point beyond reminiscing
It's fucking baffling to me that the same people who would be first in line to blame ALL JEWS (and do so in a derogatory manner) for all sorts of things (space lasers, anyone?), but the MOMENT you bring up halting monetary and military aid to Israel, they get extremely defensive about it, like the mere thought of not supporting Israel is so un-American you might as well be a terrorist.
