In western Canada a certain sweet product company is on strike. The workers don't even want a raise they just want to get rid of a new shift the company wants to impose on the workers that is reminiscent of suicide shifts.

so-called “suicide shifts” where workers are only off the clock for eight hours before having to come back in.

The workers just want to have regular work shifts and the company won't even budge, they only see profit if workers are fucked.

Of course they did, greedflation has been going strong for at least a year now... I'm surprised if wasn't even more tbh.

Time for some new tax brackets. Let's start swinging at those pinatas!

Oh thank fuck! I was so worried that the top 0.01% was having the same trouble buying groceries as I am. Gotta think of those poor poor 0.01%ers.

Doesn't this just confirm that the system is working?
