As an iatse local 705 costumer, a strike is the only way our unions can try to get fair wages and benefits. studios or streaming networks have so much money that they can afford to sit out a strike way longer than the workers, which means that after a months long strike (like right now!!) the workers will be more inclined to give in to low wages bc they can’t afford to hold out for better. Ironic, and extremely unfair. California of all states should choose to side with workers and help balance the inequity. So, Edd benefits should be more. They have been the same for 20 years while housing prices have tripled, quadrupled, etc. thank you for your consideration

Amazon needs a union, and they need it right now. Consider how Amazon treats its warehouse employees. Amazon can get away with such treatment only so long as workers are powerless. (Imagine holding managers accountable for meeting a similar set of work requirements — real-time performance measures, hard quotas, TOT, the same breaks as the workers. Managers would not stand for it— and they don’t have to: because they have power, they can refuse to meet such requirements.) Managers fear that those who do the work will add to their “worker” and “employee” identities (which lack power) the new identity of “union member.” If they can see themselves in that light, it changes their self-concept to one in which they have power — and a way to exercise power: the strike. The fear demonstrated by Amazon shows the degree to which hyper capitalism has in some ways altered the overall social structure, tilting it in a feudalistic direction. Amazon just let culture happen; it’s what we call culture by default. We, the workers, believe in culture by design. VOICES OF THE WORKERS!! Unemployment benefits, refers to social insurance programs which replace a portion of wages for individuals during unemployment. Most workers in the US are barred from claiming unemployment benefits if they go on strike, penalizing them for exercising one of their most fundamental rights.
