    I’ll skil god and thank the union directly

    • ickplant@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Totally agree!

    • traceur201@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That should just be my go-to:

      Thank the unions for that

      • FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Yes we should make it a thing

    I think saturdays used to be workdays too.

    We need to turn fridays into another case like that.

    • justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yes they did.
      Probably Sundays too going further back. Was likely one of the big draws that was built into Christianity.

        Brb. Making a 3 day work week religion. Tithes are now 5%, but tax deductible as if it were 25% !

      • interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        “Believe our religion and get one guaranteed day off every 7 days, attendance and payment of tite required for elligibility. Must pretend god is real.”

        That predates christianity, judaism already had sabbath. I wonder if that was an original feature when judaism first came into existence or if the concept of a regular rest day is even older.

    As a union man I’m wise
    To the lies of the company spies
    And I don’t get fooled by the factory rules
    'Cause I always read between the lines
    And I always get my way
    If I strike for higher pay
    When I show my card to the Scotland Yard
    And this is what I say:

    OHh…

    So it's unions to blame that I have 48 directionless hours where I end up destroying myself and alienating people?

      It’s the unions that made it so you’re not working 100 hours a week and living in a coal and smog infested rat hole

    • aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      you can take shifts on the weekend it isn’t illegal

    • Jankatarch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      If it wasn’t for unions I could be working during religious holidays! Communism.

      Personally I just go pillaging or tie dye stuff when I get antsy 🤷

    I thought the title said onions

    source
    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Onions have layers.

      Unions have layers.

      Same difference 🤷‍♂️

      source
    • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Same. Those also contribute more to Fridays being enjoyed than the imaginary sky daddy ever did, though 🤷

    What if my god is Uniono, god of higher wages and more days off?

    source
    • outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Oh, a member of the conservative svhism of uniono. The original was into synficalism and owning means of production.
