"The work of scheduling appointments, advocating for her daughter, filling out forms, navigating websites, and learning what support is available - all of this work falls on Raewyn. She is not paid for any of this systems navigation work. And yet, all of the people she interacts with are paid employee’s. Many are highly paid professionals.
...
Much of this work is invisible to government. The work can be summarised as follows:"

There are many reasons why cabin crew/flight attendants do not accept tips.

1. Flight attendants are trained and certified professionals who ensures passenger safety, security, etc. during flights.

2. The airlines would find a way to exploit that, too.

Consultations?!?

Shouldn't it be a Crown inquiry into the #wagetheft and #exploitation of Canadians in the industry?

If the government is truly aware of the allegations, then they know the allegations go back AT LEAST as far as the Harper government... that means it spans decades... let's hear from every single one of them.

#UBI isn’t just good #policy - it’s #feminist

Unpaid labor holds #women back. Childcare, elder care, emotional labor - none of it is valued under #capitalism

UBI means recognizing all #contributions not just the ones that come with a #paycheck

Given it is #InternationalWomensDay - let's make UBI a reality and vote for it in any and all elections ❤️

#UBI4ME #UniversalBasicIncome #Equality #womensday #UnpaidLabour #feminism #vote #politics #womensday2025

The greatest lie ever told: “If people aren’t forced to work, #society will collapse.”

#Newsflash unpaid labor already holds society together. Caregivers, parents, volunteers - people do meaningful work without pay all the time. ❤️

#UBI lets #people #choose #work that actually #matters instead of just what keeps the lights on.

I have thoughts about the whole tiktok trend of "join me for my Sunday Reset", how it's reframed housework from being work into being self care, and how that's shifted the conversation about unpaid labour and what a living wage is.

Meanwhile, I'm doing housework listening to Stardew Valley music and pretending I'm a tavern wench cleaning up my inn..

@Natanox @kaia @piggo likely...

Similar to how #WageWorkers get shamed for following their contract to the letter (as employers always have at best) and refuse to do #UnpaidLabour and #Overtime at theor expense and/or without compensation.
