Samvega , in US delivery workers swelter in record heat – many without AC in their vans

Humans live in a world where it is expected that other people labour and die for their own convenience. And, if those dying workers complain, it isn’t ‘professional’.

mhm, is there a way to root the echo show?

Astronauticaldb , (edited )

I kinda doubt it, since Fire TVs can’t be. Then again, FireOS is just a remux of Android. Edit: it seems like Echo Shows can in fact be rooted, but it’s a difficult process. Side-loading seems to be the easier option in this case. XDA Forums link: xdaforums.com/f/amazon-echo.6148/

Soup , in Labor board confirms Amazon drivers are employees, in finding hailed by union

I was hoping to find something explaining why they weren’t employees previously. They drive Amazon branded vehicles, are called Amazon drivers, don’t seem to be doing anything else, and don’t seem to have been hired externally by another firm.

So how in the fuck were they not employees?! This is crazy, I hope Amazon gets royally fucked in some why they might actually feel.

tiefling ,

Large corporations like to hire people as temps or independent contractors so they can give them all the responsibility of an actual employee but none of the benefits

Looking at you, Google

RIP employment agencies.

fuck employment agencies tho, they're unnecessary middlemen the same way for-profit health insurers are.

Frozengyro ,

And both the company and employment agency have incentives to keep the “temp” as a temp for as long as humanly possible…

Brkdncr ,

Probably let them pick the hours they worked. If the money is good and its not abused it can be beneficial to the independent contractor. I think fedex works this way.

ricecake ,

They usually don’t. There’s been increasing lawsuits over classifying employees as contractors because you can’t just call someone a contractor and have them suddenly be excluded from a lot of labor laws.

tpihkal ,

They’re called “Amazon Freight Partners”. Amazon sells you one of their trucks with $0 down and no driver experience required so you can “start your own business”.

Then, you work as an independent contractor for Amazon. All you have to do is w/e they tell you since you have a truck to pay for.

RippleEffect ,

Well that sounds like a creative way to be screwed over.

TheReturnOfPEB ,

FedEx ground is the same way. Not FedEx employees; owned by third parties. FedEx knows that in shipping the final mile tends to be the most expensive.

ricecake ,

Companies will often label someone a contractor so that they land in a different employment bucket and don’t get standard employee benefits.
It’s very clearly an abuse of the concept of a contractor, but sometimes companies break the law, intentionally or unintentionally.

Shirasho , in DOJ sues software firm RealPage for allegedly helping landlords collude to keep rents high

If you want more reasons to hate landlords head over to the r/landlords subreddit. The people there are some of the nastiest, heartless people you will ever see.

TransplantedSconie , (edited ) in Ahead of speech, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says in a Pennsylvania court filing that he's endorsing Trump

He literally just said that he wants to make it so nobody ends up 270 electoral votes.

He’s gonna remain on the ballots in blue states and in red states where he can’t affect the votes, but he’s gonna to remove himself on ballots in places where he could potentially be a spoiler and cause the decision to be kicked to the house.

It’s also been reported that Trump offered him a position in his administration if he drops out and endorses his Trump. He’s currently in Las Vegas doing a presser, so hopefully somebody asks him what the position is.

MegaUltraChicken ,

I think this is now the GOP’s primary plan. They’re going to try and block certifications and kick it to the House.

Crap like this is why I stopped buying things.

givesomefucks , in Freed Israeli captive Noa Argamani says she was wounded by Israel, not Hamas

Obviously…

Someone was posting literal propaganda the other day (MBFC legit outright said it was a propaganda source) that said hostages had bullet fragments “in and near” them. Then jumped to the conclusion that Hamas shot them immediately before the raid because they knew IDF was mighty and strong or some shit.

Israel has been showing us for almost a year they dont give a single fuck about the hostages, they were always sacrificial lambs. An excuse to flatten the area they were being held so Israel can then move more rightwing Jewish extremists in.

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t rely on MBFC to recognize propaganda. Look at the difference between VOA news and Al Jazera.

Fun fact, they’re both government rags. VOA was legally barred from broadcasting where Americans might hear it because it was propaganda. Al Jazera is operated by Qatar.

In any case, Israel has been full of shit since this began. And Americans have bought that hook line and sinker.

I’m listening to his speech right now. This guy sure is a nut, isn’t he?

Can’t wait to never hear about this guy again.

That photo really looks like it was made with A.I.

Does he really look that shiney and slimy in real life?

TransplantedSconie ,

Just think Sheryl Hines loves getting plowed by his raspy voiced, parasite ridden, shiney and slimy ass.

That’s fucking wild man.
