Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom

That face.

Heinz ketchup, Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Coca Cola, Western Digital hard drives back when platters were a thing.

This was the nicest thing I’ve seen all day! Thank you for sharing. :D

Please forgive my ignorance here. I absolutely support folks fighting for better pay and benefits, but why on earth did they refuse this?

The company’s Oct. 3 offer featured:

• Product commitments for every UAW plant in America
• No job losses due to electric vehicle battery plants
• Profit sharing among all employees
• A full ratification bonus
• 26% pay increase for all temporary employees
• Conversion of all temporary employees with at least three months of service to permanent status
• More than 20% pay increase for permanent employees
• Inflation protection in cost-of-living allowances
• End to tiered pay so all employees can reach the top wage rate
• A reduction (in half) of the time it takes to earn the top wage
• Income protection for permanent employees
• Increased 401(k) contributions for permanent employees
• Up to five weeks paid vacation, an average of 17 paid holidays per year and two family days.

Every single one of those bullet points sounds like a pretty massive win, even individually, then you combine them all together and it’s the best benefit plan I’ve ever even heard of in the US. Granted, I am not a benefits manager and never have been, so I suppose I don’t know what is generally available in the US. But many of those individual benefits are leagues above anything I’ve ever seen.

EDIT: I read the article rather than the post. So I assume the above points are not being given to plants planning to be built?
