Talk to your union. This is nonsense. We are SOC2 compliant at my employer without any surveillance tools. There are plenty of other controls that are perfectly reasonable though.
On Friday 11 April a meeting of the United Trades and Labour Council,
to which Byrne had been a delegate, took place. At that meeting Irish
Transport and General Workers' Union (ITGWU) representative Sean
Dowling proposed that the trade unions take over Town Hall and have
meetings there, but the proposal was not voted on.[5] On Saturday 12
April the ITGWU workers in the Cleeve's factory in Lansdowne voted
to go on strike. On Sunday 13 April, after a twelve-hour discussion
and lobbying of the delegates by workers, a general strike was called
by the city's United Trades and Labour Council.
The union was founded by James Larkin in January 1909 as a general
union.[1][2] Initially drawing its membership from branches of the
Liverpool-based National Union of Dock Labourers, from which Larkin had
been expelled, it grew to include workers in a range of industries. The
ITGWU logo was the Red Hand of Ulster, which is synonymous with ancient
Gaelic Ulster.
James Larkin (28 January 1874 – 30 January 1947), sometimes known as Jim
Larkin, was an Irish republican, socialist and trade union leader. He was
one of the founders of the Irish Labour Party along with James Connolly
and William O'Brien, and later the founder of the Irish Worker League
(a communist party which was recognised by the Comintern as the Irish
section of the world communist movement), as well as the Irish Transport
and General Workers' Union (ITGWU) and the Workers' Union of Ireland
(the two unions later merged to become SIPTU, Ireland's largest trade
union). Along with Connolly and Jack White, he was also a founder of the
Irish Citizen Army (ICA; a paramilitary group which was integral to both
the Dublin lock-out and the Easter Rising). Larkin was a leading figure
in the Syndicalist movement.[3]
So a strike instigated by a union founded by syndicalist who also founded
revolutionary unions endorsed by the cominform, who was yet to pivot to the NEP
and still advocating global union based insurrection to trigger socialist revolution.
Doesn't mean the proto-SU planned this activity particularly, but claiming 'no connection'
when people involved were part of global revolutionary activity directly connected
to groups descending from the internationale and associated with the cominform is also just as tenuous if not moreso.
it's not about financial games, but rather externalities. There are significant external costs of our way of life that are borne by others. That new car emits CO2 that contributes to global heating. The steaks we eat come from cows that have been fed with soy beans from cleared rainforests. etc etc.
It frankly still is a stretch to claim that living conditions would revert to even just 1950s levels if we reduced emissions to a sustainable level. Again, most of those improvements have been in real terms. We are simply more productive.
the analogy of course assumes that there are a bunch of different problems that will come to the family when the cops, the IRS, the electric company, and their bank all come to talk to them at once.
Just as it is generally claimed by scientists that there are a bunch of different problems coming to humanity when ecosystems collapse, temperatures rise by 1.5 degrees celsius, there's not enough freshwater to go around...
it might be stretch to claim etc. etc. but nobody is making that claim, the claim is that humanity is not reducing emissions and not doing anything significant to handle when the bills come due for the last century of everything improving!
on edit: changed is a bunch to are a bunch - is a bunch is probably still correct but are a bunch sounds more correct to my ear.
The problem is not that we could not revert to even just 1950 levels.
The problem is that it's advantageous for everyone to continue to externalize the costs and let everyone else pay the bill[0].
Since everyone is doing the externalizing, no one is paying the bill. Since no one is paying the bill, the resource will be exhausted sooner or later.
The resource in question is the resilience of our own biological life support system; we're wrecking it, both by by our predatory over exploitation and by pollution. We're destroying the foundations of our own survival.
