If he could, would Trump send us back to these times? ================================= This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. Somewhere there were people at the top of the company who felt there was nothing wrong with this picture.

He is actively trying to do exactly this, and worse. We must stop him.

They didn't just think it was OK. They laughed about those losers at their parties.

Trump doesn't have the awareness to comprehend this. The tech bros and oligarchs do understand and have no problem returning the working class to these conditions if it contributes to their portfolios.

In a heartbeat! I expect he’d be particularly gleeful if those were the losers and suckers who voted for him. He does love a grift!

If you need to think about it before answering "rich", you are not paying attention and are a fool.

How many paid days off you get in the states? Here in the Netherlands workers get 5 weeks paid off.

0. We do not have government mandated time off on a federal level, and I can't name a state that does, though they may exist. Some salaried jobs *might* have pto, that may include sick time. The only garauntee we get is if we have a qualifying reason, we can take unpaid FMLA for retaining your job.

Usually not. Some employers offer 2,3 or if you're lucky 5 days each AFTER working 1year. You loose your job after 3 days without a Dr. note. MAYBE, 5 vacation DAYS after 1year. MAYBE, 5 additional DAYS after 2 or 3 ADDITIONAL years.

The Nautilus @the-nautilus.bsky.social

The other commenter is right about hourly work. Sick time/regular is usually unpaid. Salaried work usually has at least sick time and a small amount of pto. Jobs with more usually don't separate sick from pto. It's a bank accumulated over time. No job is required to provide it paid, some just do.

They didn't understand "holiday" it's called vacation in US. Aaaannnnddd, you will NEVER get 32 days of vacation if you worked 25+years with the same company.
