Union of Southern Service Workers
США
Добавлен 30 сен 2020
Union of Southern Service Workers (USSW) is a union built by and for low-wage workers across the service industry. We are building our union by any means necessary, and building it in a way that makes sense for us.
We are digging in for the long haul because we know that there is no solution other than collective action by workers.
We are coming together across the service industry because this fight is so much bigger than any one employer.
We are organizing to win structural changes at our jobs and for our communities.
We are fighting to transform our low wage, high turnover jobs into good union jobs.
USSW members are taking collective action to shift the balance of power in the South.

Bogalusa Massacre of 1919
Today in Southern Labor History, we remember the 1919 Bogalusa Massacre.
In Bogalusa, Louisiana, the Great Southern Lumber Company owned everything - houses, stores, utilities, schools, and parks. The general manager of the mill was also the mayor and the police even worked in lockstep with the mill. The mill even kept a private armed militia.
Workers at the Great Southern Lumber Company faced low wages and outright racial violence from the company.
Following the lead of millworker and organizer Sol Dacus, millworkers from across races organized together to create a multiracial union. But, due to Louisiana’s segregationist labor laws, workers were forced to create separate locals for white w...

On this day in Southern Labor History, November 8, we remember the 1892 New Orleans General Strike. The New Orleans General Strike shook the foundations of racial capitalism, uniting Black and white workers in a militant show of solidarity against exploitation as workers demanded a 10-hour work day and better working conditions. The general strike was driven by a “triple alliance” three raciall...

Speakout against transphobia at Wendy's
So unfair
bro just put the fries in the bag. those people in the corporate office run the business, you are replaceable.
Sorry it's still unskilled labor.
At any job! Thank you for speaking truth 🙏!
Something is wrong with your work ethic or spending habits if you can't support yourself working 40-60 hours a week.
Then leave? Tf
You guys will lose hours and benefits.
$25/hour for "waffle house" servers?
Just about every time the government sticks their nose into something, it makes it worse.
So you think someone owes you something and I bet you voted democrat and they are in charge so blame them 😂
If I could drop a hard R in the comments section I would.
If you were at work instead of the court house it might solve your problems.
Don't look like yiu miss a meal, which is probably free for you guys...
Get a job, landlords have a job.
landlords charge rent because its their property
End rent!
You can't be "on strike" if you're not Union
👁 GOT 🫵🏾!
Absolutely!
👋👋👋👋👋
She looks like she makes enough money to eat a lot.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The smell of that pulp paper factory is so bad I would hold my breath until I got through it,then I was told to just think of creamed corn,I did and i could handle the smell..😂
lmao unions are a bad thing for unskilled labor. I've worked retail and fast food jobs for 10 years and never had the thought in my mind that I needed to join a union.
heard the company is going bankrupt and closing stores now. you reap what you sow
Now your not making anything lmao shut the fuck up you work at Waffle House for that long your a bum
I see a bunch of women having kids they can't afford. Imagine blaming your employer for poor life choices.
If you think Waffle House is a hard job you really need a wake up call. It's bacon and eggs, not rocket science.
Thank you for your service, sir!
I agree
[hapi]
I’m a social worker I make ~$22/hr I hope y’all get a contract for more than $25 Thinking other people should suffer because you’re suffering is dumb as hell
It's hazard pay at waffle house. Crazy assholes they gotta deal with.. Speaking of waffle house, Google Blue waffle. It's a new item... Your welcome!
It's true professional tradesmen are thinking twice about a cook making 20 and they're trying to give them 20 to 25 it's going to be a shortage real soon of technicians
That’s how much a company truck driver makes also 20 a hour. You got your life and other peoples lives on the line and you have to live such a strict life getting sleep and never letting loose. If you’ve been driving 5 years no accidents you’ll make 30 an hour lol 😂 foh
Pay is also based off federal and state economics look at cali pay raise they had to close businesses because of it i hear alot of complaints but still see people waste money on wants
Key word apprentice means he in training 2ba plumber once he completed learning ten pay increase to more.
Leave and don't come back
And go where?
Shame on the company but shame on the customers, too.
Unfortunately corporate probably fired her shortly after this video I work at a waffle House put in my 2 weeks a week ago and the location that I'm at it's been shot up twice and had a car ran through it twice we are not allowed to do any dine ins from Friday night to Sunday morning 3rd shift the new credit card policy is killing our servers that bridge payment that they did is BULLSHIT and waffle House is about to have a really bad time keeping anybody more than usual they probably will have to close stores in my honest prediction that and the CEO dying is definitely either will cause a full-on implosion & company filing for bankruptcy or all workers will get so pissed that it will cause a mass call out walk out
Notice last election the Democratic party promised a federal 15.00 minimum wage and that never happened. And the Democrats in Congress were the ones who voted against it.
If you're not happy with your employer's behavior, the wage you make, or if it feels like a bad deal in some way- You can totally apply for different jobs, and continue to work the one you intend to resign from. Why go through the trouble to make demands from a corporate job when you can just quit and work somewhere else? There are plenty of jobs that have a low or medium barrier for entry with a license or permit of some sort, you can study for this license or permit while working the job you're unhappy with, and when you're ready, you won't have to look back. When you're hired, you agree to whatever you sign for, so read it first, Stop being a victim, and find work that suits you, you're better than this.
So you won't take responsibility for your own income. You won't provide value and you think you can just vote for more money in your pocket. If anyone you should tell the government to get out of your pocket. They tax the crap out of you and you keep voting for them. Use yo head
What is a living wage
it's incredible that despite all the negatives they're still able to feel some sense of pride in their work and say that waffle house isn't all bad. They're all incredibly strong in so many ways
Jer?! 🎺❤🏁
Respectfully. You are replaceable and Waffle House is very much aware of that fact. $25 an hour across the board is also a strange ask since the cost of living is vastly different across the country. $25 an hour for a Waffle House in a major city may not be much but it’s a lot for someone in a more rural area. There are literally entry level financial analysts making less than $25 an hour how do you expect to make more?
This is what I want to see. Our ancestors of Appalachian are those who shot at Pinkertons and fought for the basic rights that we take for granted today, and we need to follow up and used the rights they gave us to unionize and protest.
Sounds illegal to me
I want to be friends with this man.
