NYC's Department of Investigation finds that NYPD's use of "excessive force" contributed to violence during protests

So then you are in favor of bad employees, corrupt cops, tax cheats, child abusers, etc etc?

I'm in favor of "snitches get stiches."

This was not the way I was expecting the thread to go off the rails.

 

[Agema]

Literally a snitching advocate.

I teach healthcare students, who are professionally obliged to "snitch". If they don't and something goes seriously wrong, their necks may be on the block, too.

I suspect most people who face the prospect of being a patient in medical care would appreciate a system where the staff encourage good practice amongst their own, up to and including reporting their colleagues if necessary. When you think about it, there's no reason that principle can't extend to any other job.

I work in a restaurant. If someone got sick because a coworker contaminated their food with an allergen because of bad practice I wouldn't hesitate to call them on it.

What are you, a mob enforcer?

This makes perfect sense. Now, would you prefer to contact their boss about their behavior, or contact both the boss and a 3rd party organization that exists only to make it harder to fire them?

ok? a lot of the existing ones are currently run by careerists looking for personal influence in D.C. at the expense of the interests of the workers they represent.

Yes.

If you think that's the only reason for unions to exist, you're the perfect patsy

That said, cops aren't labor, they're the enforcement arm of management, so fuck them

 

[ObsidianJones]

I have to say this.

I'm not a fan of Bill De Blaiso. He's tried, but he's bumbled a great deal. He has an unfavorable job. But save for some messages he has pushed, I can't say he's handled the position remarkably well.

However. He's owned up to his fault. It doesn't take it away, but it definitely softens his image in my eyes.

I think that's the only thing the Teamsters do, which is the only union I've personally experienced. I'm certain that's not every union, and that unions were hugely justified in the era before workplace regulations existed, but if a union's not doing any good for anyone, screw them.
