The California Fast Food Workers Union is urging the state to again raise the minimum wage for fast-food employees.

According to a letter sent to the statewide Fast Food Council last month, the union is asking for a $20.70 wage starting in 2025 and a $21.40 wage in 2026. The proposed yearly 3.5% increase is a response to rising inflation, the letter said.

The union representing workers at the Apple store in Towson said it reached a contract agreement with the tech giant on Friday, calling it a first-of-its-kind deal, “historic” that gives its members “a voice in their futures.”

Your opinion on HSE (lemmy.world)

Hi.

I was curious about peoples opinion of HSE, especially in the context of the modern workplace.

It seems to be mostly nonsense. Or it seems to be about covering the asses of the management in case something actually happens at work, not really about keeping people safe. Mostly the solutions are to sign another piece of paper.

Especially the idea that every large accident is a consequence of a lot of small incidents that accumulates. This idea just seems made specifically to blame the people on the bottom of the hierarchy whenever something occurs.

Anyways. HSE useful or not?

Edit: HSE - Health, safety and environment.
