Bitches, I've got a doozy of a story for you! I work at a manufacturing facility with lots of locations nationwide and internationally. Our field is competitive with several other companies, many of which also have facilities in the same area. My company also notoriously underpays its workers as far as the local work goes (can't speak for other locations, cuz I don't know).

Well, back in April, the whole top echelon (president, CEO, etc) came to speak to us in a company-wide meeting. The CEO talked about the growth of the company, blah blah blah. At the end, they asked if anyone had any questions, and when no one else did, I stood up.

I've been following you Bitches for years, and this particular day had been absolute hell on a personal level from the word go, so at this point, my give a damn was broken beyond repair. I looked the CEO dead in the eye and told him the reason the company has such a problem with retention (he *just* mentioned it) is because we're by far the lowest-paid company in the area. I also told him that the way it usually works is that we hire someone, they get a little experience, then they leave to the competition for a drastic increase in pay. (You can only imagine how loud 300-400 production workers are, let me tell you!)

Well, the CEO gave what sounded like a bunch of corporate political waffling, so no one expected anything to come of it.

BUT WAIT!

Last week, on the same day I started in a new position (with a hefty raise), everyone got letters stating how much their pay was increasing! And the starting pay jumped up significantly to compete with the other companies nearby!

It felt really good to be able to tip the dominoes to help everyone out. 😊

OH MY FUCKING STARS AND STRIPES!

You are a beacon of light, an explosion of goodness. You just did something HUGE for everyone you work with... AND somehow the company as well?!?! We're unbelievably proud of you.

Never doubt that you can make a difference, bitchlings. By stating an uncomfortable truth, this baby bitch just improved the lives of every single person they work with AND helped their employer with worker retention. You've changed your community and industry for the better and we're just over the moon with pride.

1941 - Disney animators went on strike after Walt Disney refused to let his workers unionize. The workers were angry about unfair policies on pay and benefits. On the picket line the animators lynched and guillotined an effigy of Walt Disney himself.

After four months Walt Disney caved to the demands and let the workers unionize, striking a deal which included the reinstatement of employees fired before the strike, equalization of pay, a clearer salary structure and a grievance procedure. [source] (this is a remake of a post that was deleted by @staff)

FRAN DRESCHER APPRECIATION POST

Fran Drescher has been out there being awesome since 1993, when she created and produced THE NANNY (1993-1999) with her then-husband, Peter Marc Jacobsen.

An iconic 90s woman who taught me to be the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan

Also one of the characters on TV who actively made me wish I was Jewish

In 2021, Fran ran to be the President of the Screen Actors Guild Union (SAG-AFTRA) and won against fellow actor Matthew Modine.

As you may know, SAG-AFTRA has voted to go on strike along with the Writer's Guild of America. This means that a large chunk of Hollywood and the motion picture industry is on a hiatus until terms can be agreed to with the massively powerful studios.

At issue is LABOR, and our fabulous Fran is making a point of highlighting that this isn't just Hollywood's problem. The issues that these workers are asking for is the same as many other strikes: fair pay for reasonable work. The studios are hoping that innovations in tech and AI will make human writers and actors less necessary and less expensive than ever. And you can bet that every CEO in every industry is hoping the same: they would looooove to replace you with tech and pay you nothing.

Of course, studios' gamble on AI won't actually work. AI could have never created successful hit sitcom The Nanny. The Nanny works (and still works!) because it uses the special talents of a unique human with a vision--Fran Drescher. She had a vision and then she made it, wrote it, AND performed it. AI can't improvise timely zingers on the spot or create a fashion icon. AI can only feed you recycled content, designed to look brand new. AI will never be able to fake authentic human creativity.
