    As a lifelong kitchen worker I truly don’t understand how anyone who works in the service industry can be anything less than the farthest to the left you can be.

        I can’t find any references to it now when i went googling, but in my first job at McDonalds they automatically enrolled us in the McUnion, which meant that we didnt need to bother with joining a real union.

        16 year old me didn’t see too much of a problem with this. Randomly thought about it recently like what the fuck was that how did they think that would work and then how the fuck did we let that work.

          Many companies have avoided the whole union issue with profit-sharing, which is actually a nice benefit but also something the company can take away if the employees unionize. But “McUnion” - srsly? Did they have McBenefits lol?

      Dude, my son-in-law is a huge right wing idiot, and he’s a kitchen worker. It happens. I have no idea how. But yeah.
