"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.

Fucking word.

Learn your rights!

Ian Stone, Doubting Thomas, oil on linen, 12x16 in, 2023

"If you know the painting by Caravaggio, Doubting Thomas, it was my direct inspiration for this piece.

A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience. 50-60 years ago, it was not uncommon for people to think or believe that being gay was a phase or a mental illness or deviance in some shape or form. It's embarrassing that the same things are being said about trans people today."

STOP SCROLLING!!! THIS IS NOT A PHOTO IT'S OIL ON LINEN!!!!!!!!!

don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.

please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!

As of July 15, they are looking for about 9,000 more signatures. It takes less than one minute

can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike

i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster's demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there's a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.

im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board... like A Lot of shit is about to go down

we're about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we're about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.

[Image descriptions in order: a tweet by @voxdotcom "Vox" (golden verification) which says "A 10-day UPS strike would cost the economy more than $7 billion and be the costliest work stoppage in at least a century, according to a new study by Anderson Economic Group, which researches labor disruptions." Attached is a link to an article by them, titled "A UPS strike? In this economy?" The attached photo shows a man holding a yellow and black striking sign in front of a balloon pig holding a green bag of money in one hand and a puppet by the neck in the other. The visible part of the sign says "just practicing for a just contract".]

[A tweet by @UPS "UPS" (golden verification) which says "College? Cooking? Entrepreneurship

Our industry-leading pay & benefits allow our people to pursue their passions. From healthcare coverage, retirement pensions, tuition assistance... the list goes on. But, we'll let our people tell the story in their own words. ⬇️" Attached is a picture that is cropped so only the forehead of a man is visible.

@left_voice "Left_Voice" replies "A reminder that many UPS workers in New York, the country's most expensive city, earn just $15.50 an hour.

You can't pursue your passions when you can barely make ends meet. #StrikeReady".]

[A tweet by @LuigiWMorris "Luigi W Morris" which says "UPS part-timers are ready to strike, and we are joined by other union and community members who are ready to stand in solidarity with us ✊🪧@Teamsters @ 804_local". Attached is a photo of about fifteen UPS drivers posing for a photo with their striking signs on a street corner. Some of the signs say "just practicing for a just contract", "$25/hour or strike", "reinstate fired worker activists unconditionally".

@BenFredericks "Ben Douglass" replies "As a fired UPS working still trying to get my job back, I stand in full solidarity with the righteous fight for a $25/hour minimum starting wage, particularly for warehouse workers who bust their asses in sweatshop conditions.

#strike #Equality #25orStrike".]

[A tweet by @LuigiWMorris "Luigi W Morris" which says "Love to see it 🪧 If UPS doesn't meet our demands by August 1, it won't be practice anymore, and we will go on strike! Thanks for all the support and solidarity, we can hear and feel it from inside the warehouse. @Teamsters @Local804T". Attached is a video, which is stopped on a frame of the camera pointing between a stoplight and something else obscuring the left half of the screen, at the side of a ups truck.]
