1. Corrupción y Tácticas Mafiosas en Sindicatos.
Exploración de las acusaciones sobre la infiltración de la mafia en los sindicatos y el uso de tácticas corruptas.
- As long as you keep the mafia out of union administration. They screwed union members & stole lots of money. Without mafia, i’m very pro-union. It’s the only thing that protected workers from the power of management. It evened things up some.
- The mafia had established themselves in unions thanks to the cops really not caring. Given the overall anti-union attitude of everyone in the american power structure, no one was going to do much if organized crime began shoving their way into the labor movement.
- Wish that was the case unfortunately, unions tend to turn into mafia-like organizations that don't have their members best interests at heart, and that use those members to strong arm companies into doing things that - are not good for anyone.
2. SAG-AFTRA: ¿Sindicato o Mafia?
Análisis de las críticas hacia SAG-AFTRA, el sindicato de actores, con acusaciones de comportamientos similares a la mafia y tácticas de monopolio.
- Whatever youtuber said that sagaftra is like the mafia somehow won their mindshare and i'm fascinated by it. The mafia is when you strike your labor to attempt and get better protections and pay right. That's what mafia is, like holy shit.
- I just looked a video about sag-aftra and damn why do unions in the us function like some sort of big mafia it's so weird.
- Feeling very vindicated on the hoyoverse/sag-aftra/va drama today. Hearing that sag's been sending threatening letters to voice actors, forcing them to play politics, being unreasonable, and trying to stop them from voicing in hoyo games is unreal. I stand by my word, sag is a mafia, not a union.
- It has some people comparing sag-aftra to the mafia rather than what a union's supposed to be, and i'm not entirely inclined to disagree with them. /end thread.
3. Propaganda Anti-Sindical y la Defensa de los Trabajadores.
Reflexiones sobre el uso de la comparación con la mafia como herramienta de propaganda anti-sindical y la importancia de la protección de los derechos de los trabajadores.
- I've said for ages that people have been regurgitating old and well-worn anti-union talking points uncritically and. Comparing sag-aftra to the mafia is just proving my point. That's old school anti-union propaganda there.
- Seeing people who refer to sag or any other labour union as a "mafia" or "bullies" doesnt just strike me as the opinions i'd expect a child to have, but a fundamental depressing misunderstanding of how unions actually function. They exist to give power to people who do not have any individually.
- I’ve heard the argument that unions are susceptible to corruption and thus not fit to exist, pointing out the manipulation and fixing from the heydays of the sicilian mafia. There are people who will bend over backwards to justify horrible treatment of blue collar workers.
4. Paralelismos Históricos y Contexto Actual.
Análisis de la relación histórica entre sindicatos y la mafia, y cómo este contexto influye en las percepciones actuales.
- Well tbf mafia and unions oft went hand in hand during the godfather era of the 20th century.
- U have to remember us unions have their history inextricably tied with the mafia. Thats why they're like that. Saying this completely neutrally. With love, even.
- The mafia helped unions expand, they wouldn't have been able to do without them. Maybe that bond will be stronger in the end.
