Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I have a wild concept: What if we create customers union as opposed to trade unions? (Not to be confused with customs union.) As the name suggests, a customers union is an organization of customers, just like a trade union is an organization of workers. The objective of a customers union is to keep a business's service quality in check, and may be given powers such as vetoing pay raises when certain customers demand is not met.
That would just lead to more doxxing, control, inflation.. unions destroy free market
In a free market, unions of any kind are not necessary. Market will take care of correcting what ever is lacking - price point, service quality, etc
Concur. What the public needs is information; the decisions follow quickly. Right, Bud Light? How's it hangin', Disney?
But what have unions ever done for us? Something called the weekend?

Is it worth being owned by the Mafia tho
Although, like any benefits, workplaces who want to compete for the best workers would do things like that.
