US deportation prisons

samedi 23 juillet 2022 à 18:18

Complaints from black immigrants in US deportation prison *reveal a disturbing pattern of physical abuse and ignoring medical needs.*

An indigenous prisoner in Australian jail died of a disease that proper medical procedures would have identified. But they don't follow proper medical procedures with indigenous prisoners.

Extreme heat

US cities are raising the priority of efforts to adapt to extreme heat, since heat we now call "extreme" will become normal.

Most of China has been hit badly by extreme heat and extreme rain.

Will Americans and Chinese recognize that current policies will make this much worse in a decade or two? Mere adaptation to a danger while we continue to make it a little worse every year is not rational, and in the long term the heat will win the race.

Amazon and Chipotle

samedi 23 juillet 2022 à 18:18

Amazon is harassing warehouse employees with pressure not to vote to unionize.

Workers at a Chipotle outlet filed for union recognition, so the company shut that branch permanently.

The article sates that since mid-June the branch has been open "only for staff trainings". I have a hunch that these "trainings" are actually union-busting harassment meetings. This is a standard tactic used by many companies to fight union organizing. They order workers to listen for hours to the propaganda of union-busting consultants, and perhaps to answer their questions too.

It could be useful training … in how to stand firm against the man.

Do you feel like eating Chipotle's food after reading this?
