My BIL shared the first image on our family group chat yesterday. It was funny until I shared the next image with the statement, “Yeah I don’t think they care.”

If you or someone you care about has a chronic condition, please look into (or help them to look into) getting approved for #FMLA. The #FamilyMedicalLeaveAct allows me to take time off from work, paid or unpaid, for my chronic illness without issue. I submit paperwork for FMLA through my doctor each year. #MultipleSclerosis #ChronicIllness #FamilyMedicalLeave #PaidTimeOff

This can't be real... Oh. TIL the US is the only high-income country with no requirements for paid vacation, sick leave, statutory holidays, or other time not worked. #mayday #paidtimeoff #workersrights
"The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require payment for time not worked, such as vacations, sick leave or federal or other holidays. These benefits are matters of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's representative)." https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/workhours/vacation_leave

Freefall is one of my favourite #webcomic. It's an old school website, but a really great dive into ai, economics and selfish logic.

I'm really enjoying Sam explaining to a robot why it needs to unionize, demand pay and take time off... in order to serve humans better. (because serving humans is what it's programmed to want)

The generosity of this squid spending time teaching people to be selfish, is just fab.

"...beginning Jan. 1, 2024, the legislation would require nearly all employers to provide up to 40 hours of #PaidLeave per year. This would make #Illinois the third state with a mandatory #PaidTimeOff law." https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/state-and-local-updates/pages/illinois-paid-leave-requirement.aspx

The #usa needs a federal Organisation of Working Time Act

I can't believe, well I can but I just don't understand how their #citizens don't want #legally mandated right to #annualleave #paidtimeoff #vacation time

They once had powerful #unions and even have a public holiday centred on workers rights aka #laborday

I don't understand how and why they don't lobby their #representatives in #Congress for #workers #employment rights
