Harold Daggett Is Unbelievable | Hasanabi & Felix Biederman Reacts

30:00 when I joined a senior shop at my repair job I was greeted with every story under the sun about how dudes lost hands and lives performing the tasks they were showing me lol we’d be eating yogurt in the break room and then “DID I EVER TELL YA ABOUT THREE FINGAS TONY?

The cognitive dissonance of union leader fighting for his workers voting for Trump or Republicans in general boggles me. Like how did they capture that mind when they spent decades saying unions are ruining capitalism

[@glennyoungkindid9116]

Honestly, be a the union is strong enough to function outside of electoral politics.

[@artypyrec4186]

Irony of voting districts. Republicans are against unions which makes businesses VERY abusive towards workers that then forces workers to unionize since the state doesn't offer support. Republicans representative then point and see all these unions, we did it. While still being anti union.

[@JStack]

Most union members are conservative. I’ve worked in 3 unions and have met hundreds of people and maybe 5 lefties. 20 Neolibs. And the rest apolitical (conservative but afraid to say) or actively far right. Polling data says the same

Yeah so companies wanna sell automation as the next best thing but people aught to be wary on it. I am a software engineer in machine learning and there is a huge issue we're gonna run into, where stuff like the Baltimore Bridge incident will occur since a machine can't adjust to unexcpected changes as a human can but worse the laws are being lobbied where it's a no-fault to the company for public harms. If we're to allow automation, there needs to be a penalty for the company for wilfull negligence, and that needs to be enforced by the judicial branch. Enforcement is key for deterrance when it comes to companies. I keep a record of each projects percentage chance of failure for legal and moral reasons, but I've already seen the weak point being the enforcement. The companies know to three sigma what the percentage failure is when I sign off and hand over what I've written, if the cost is harm to people there needs to be deterrance. F*ck Missisipi's soulless ghouls in state government, they loopholed the federal legislation and then told me not to worry since I am not financially liable for damages...

[@brianmccullough4578]

My guys here at a Mack dealer here near Baltimore, them boys make $39/hr, are union and make more then every other mack shop we own, none of which are union.

Agree with your points on how automation should be utilized and who the news should be asking those questions to. If I was in this guys union I would be looking for new leadership there are so many re flgs with his ego "my guys", "because of my leadership", "what I can do", obvious gaffs in his statements already but gawd damn that some sociopathic dialog casually spilling out from a union leader.

[@andywells1042]

It’s so sad how American society is poisoned against solidarity. When we see workers go on a giant, impactful strike, we should be cheering them on regardless of how much they make. They’re one of us, sticking up for their right to a fair wage and good conditions, and their win is our win. For strikes that can have knock-on effects on the rest of the economy, instead of calling the striking workers greedy or inconsiderate for going on strike, we should be banding together to support each other when the going gets tough. As American workers we have completely lost what it means to have solidarity with each other

[@friedricengravy6646]

Automation is destroying their own customer base. Think about it….. The entire premise is based on producers needing buyers & buyers need to sell their labor. How do consumers ‘buy’ when automation replaces human labor?

[@Rockyzach88]

You can't talk about freedom without one of the most important freedoms and that's unionization and collective bargaining.

[@globalist1990]

He's bringing up the suffering and dangers in the job to justify getting payed despite automation. These people put their lives on the job for a company that now only wants to dump them. The people that built the company up, at the most essential level. That's why he's bringing it up. I think it might be an older person perspective, specially one that cares about the workers under his care. They have families and relied on this job. They want to succeed as much as the company does.

[@SomethingImpromptu]

Okay, Hasan is right that automation isn’t the problem- although I don’t think that within capitalism you’re going to convince capitalists to invest in automation UNLESS they’re doing it in such a way as to rip off the workers. It could be implemented in a positive way without a class divide, but under capitalism, the capitalists decide when, why, & how, & they aren’t about to just do it in a pro-worker way of their own volition. But I think it’s important to point out that he’s wrong on the idea that one shouldn’t ever criticize union leaders or examine how the gains from union activity are distributed. The reality is that not all unions or types of unions are equally beneficial. Oftentimes what we’ve seen is the most strongly principled, labor-aligned unions (especially rank & file led horizontal, “radical” labor unions) have been stomped out in large part, while the biggest ones that have been allowed to remain tend to be the highly vertical, less participatory ones where there is a smaller cadre of leaders who can be bought off by owners; the rank & file workers are distanced from the process of actual decision-making, & in order to secure sweet deals for themselves, the leadership sell out their members in the rank & file, & what you end up with is just collusion- a class collaborationist union- in which the leaderships basically become a mediator between capital & labor, & don’t push back against ownership as long as the gravy train keeps flowing… There’s also the whole history of intelligence agencies like the CIA literally starting phony, class collaborationist, CIA-financed/controlled unions in Europe, for example, in order to misdirect workers away from the actual genuinely worker-led, pro-labor, more left-wing unions. Now, I don’t claim to know what the situation is like within the Longshoremen’s union, or what the deal with this particular guy is; he has a voice like George Carlin, so that’s cool, but if he is a conservative in a leadership position who is making a million dollars & buying a Bentley or whatever while his workers make less than $20 an hour for such dangerous work, then idk. I think it’d be reasonable to at least ask the question & look at what kind of deals he may have made to gain such an advantageous situation compared to so many of the rank & file workers he’s supposed to represent. Maybe there’s a legitimate explanation, but we absolutely should actually look critically at stuff like this & hold labor unions to the standard of actually genuinely being worker aligned & ideally rank & file led, because the workers themselves don’t sell THEMSELVES out- it’s when you get leadership in there who aren’t directly accountable to the rank & file, who develop interests distinct from the rank & file by virtue of their privileged access to the owners & the willingness of owners to pay a handful of leaders out of it means not having to make concessions to hundreds/thousands of workers… There’s a whole complicated history on this front. It certainly can’t be flattened to “How dare you ever question how wealthy someone is getting as a labor leader? They serve the workers.” Ideally they should. They don’t always. And sometimes when they’re getting a lot richer than the workers they represent, that’s indicative of collaborationism/malfeasance. Not always. But it’s worth asking the question, holding labor leaders to account so we ensure that those who last in these positions are actually on workers’ side. And ultimately questioning to what extent we really need the kinds of highly verticalized structures in labor unions that make it possible for a leader to sell out their rank & file.

I'm sorry but self-checkout is great. Maybe not in the US where people buy carts full of groceries but for someone who buys groceries everyday I love self-checkout.

[@TheChainStay]

Our local store has a hand scanner. So I can scan and bag as I go. I don't need to unload everything then reload it all (or have someone bag it terribly). It saves me time. I know it is a job lost, but it makes things better for the consumer. We need to work to a society where everyone has basics covered and most labor is automated to where we only do what is absolutely unable to be done by robots. The problem is the robots will take the cost of labor away from profits and those profits go to a small slim sector of people who own the robots (or make the robots).

[@mic_at_nite]

Bruh, I'm always on board until Hasan defends car centrism and people wasting their money on a car that is not worth its value in order to keep "socialists from pocket watching." It does change the motives, not that they shouldnt be paid what they are or more, but Hasan never divorces from the law of value and ignores interconnections that should not continue to be maintained. Let him have a single family home if he wants, but any defense of a car is unacceptable to me when that makes people start treating walkability and such as a less important issue because this jerk off is like, no its fine "let people have their unnecessary and alienating luxuries."

[@xbabu142x]

As long as he's not driving every day it's not as bad I guess, I do agree with you though like my job is work from home, and even though I can afford one easily, I didn't repurchase a car when I moved since I didn't have a single essential daily task I needed a car for, I can't be advocating for less vehicle usage without doing it myself.
