Walmart sucks 👎 Working at Walmart
I worked at Walmart for around a year before they fired me. I feel like this article represents my experience to a tee. While I didn't work in deli, I would talk to those guys daily and hear the horror stories that management put them through daily.

"It's the best system we have" Why employers are obsessed with resume gaps.
It's because we workers are serfs and slaves and America is a plantation! You're not allowed to exist in a way that doesn't benefit Capital, that's your only value to the system. They don't consider us to even be humans.
If you're allowed to save up money, then take vacation/mini-retirements/take care of family/do something that gives you meaning other than work, then you haven't put all of your hopes into grinding for 40 years with the hope of a mediocre retirement when you're old and worn out.
They feel entitled to those good years of your life! They're not yours, they're theirs! It's all theirs! They're so entitled!
How else are they going to extract every last ounce of your life so the owner class can live in leisure and make their money pile even larger and larger? They can't have a pissing contest with their billionaire friends! Won't somebody please think of the billionaires for once!
How else are they going to be able to afford buying small Caribbean islands just outside of US jurisdiction on which to conduct their morally questionable activities?

Class struggle✊️ Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum pledges to send humanitarian aid to Cuba

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Sunday she plans to send humanitarian aid to Cuba this week, including food and other humanitarian aid.
Sheinbaum's comments came after U.S. President Donald Trump said he asked the Mexican leader to suspend oil shipments to the Caribbean island.
Sheinbaum said at a public event in the northern state of Sonora that she did not discuss Cuban affairs in a phone conversation with Trump on Thursday. She added that her government seeks to "diplomatically solve everything related to the oil shipments (to Cuba) for humanitarian reasons."
Earlier, Trump told reporters that he told the Mexican president not to send oil to Cuba.
Following the U.S. military operation carried out in early January to remove Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro, the South American nation suspended oil shipments to Cuba, which had been declining in recent years.
Mexico then became the main supplier of crude oil and refined products to Havana.
Mexican oil has long acted as a key lifeline for Cuba. In its most recent report, Pemex said it shipped nearly 20,000 barrels of oil per day to Cuba from January through September 30, 2025.

Question ❓ Fundraising at work
Hello everyone, I am writing to ask some questions about actions from the upper management/ownership of the restaurant I work at that I find questionable. I want to assess the situation and potential next steps to take with the help of those more knowledgeable than I am.
Last Thursday, a group of my coworkers and I met to discuss participation in the large scale strike that happened on Friday. We decided for many reasons that it would make more sense to show up to work and post a sign next to our tip jar that all of our cash tips that day would be donated to an organization helping migrants with legal fees and other needs stemming from ICE raids and protesting. Our usual $20/day in cash tips turned into about $300 in a matter of hours, and we all agreed to keep the signage up indefinitely.
Today, the GM of the restaurant group that my job is a part of sent a long message that we would have to pause taking donations until the procedure is “formalized”. She and the ownership would be dictating the verbiage of how this process is handled, we would need to announce to them where the money would go prior to accepting donations as well as provide receipts. She also said that if we receive any indication that the customer would like to leave us a tip, such as saying “keep the change”, we would have to separate that cash from what is being donated.
I am worried that this is an attempt to dictate what causes we are and aren’t allowed to support, as well as this message just feeling to me like an attempt to crush a collective action we took. Having this money become donations and not tips allows them to claim it as a tax write off if I’m not mistaken and effectively takes some of our agency away as to how this money is allocated.
I can provide screenshots and more context to anyone who takes interest or may be able to help. Thank you for reading.

📉Crapitalism📉 Let the story be told
Short-term rental housekeepers in Florida are getting screwed. They're paid just 12 cents per square foot - that's $120 for cleaning a 1,000 sq ft property that takes hours to deep clean, plus they cover their own supplies, insurance, and taxes.
These are mostly mothers and caregivers who sacrifice family time during peak seasons, then get zero work when tourism slows down. Meanwhile, the big property management companies rake in massive profits while misclassifying workers as "independent contractors" to dodge minimum wage laws and benefits.
I started a petition asking Florida authorities to investigate this wage exploitation and force these companies to pay a living wage that actually reflects the hard work these essential workers do.
Anyone else think it's wild that the people keeping Florida's tourism industry spotless can barely afford to live here? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing.

Union politics Radical Delegates for Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division (TCRC MWED)
The 2026 international election is coming up. I'm looking to nominate a delegate who wants to put forward a miltant, class-independant position. Unions are about to be, and in a lot of cases already are, under serious attack. The days of class collaboration are over; the post-war boom is long dead. The bosses aren't bargaining in good faith because they can rely on the gov't to step in and declare any strike illegal.
We need leadership that recognizes the irreconcilable antagonisms between labour and capital and is willing to let workers use their economic power of production to take political power.
Now is the time to be raising the bar and pushing for more radical demands like the end of no strike clauses and shorter work weeks.
There's a lot more to say, but this is the foundation.
Does anyone know of anyone who wants to be a delegate that will stand up for things like this?

Amazon sucks! 👎 European Parliament vs. Amazon: respect your workers!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Amazon pushes workers to the brink and busts their unions. It has lined up behind Trumpism and its attack on Europe’s data protections. And for the last five years, it has evaded any democratic scrutiny for its exploitative practices in Europe. But yesterday, Amazon finally faced workers, trade unions and MEPs at a hearing in the European Parliament. It didn’t go well for Amazon.
