/labor/ - Labor

i didn't know that some screwdrivers had hexagonal handles for that, this is very cool

do you need to be specially talented in some way, such as motor skills, to become a heavy machinery operator? It seems they pay super-well in my country and the Union is strong. only problem is courses being very expensive and far from where I live. Main heavy-operator areas of job would be:
>mining sites
>oil sites
>port\ship docks sites
forestry pays much more less ,and the conditions are more deadly

Little known tip: Get a damn Torx wrench. I had these bolts I had to get off my care that hadn't been taken off since they were installed in 2002 so they were rusted on there tight. Tried a bunch of different wrenches and all they were doing was stripping it. Tried all the recommendations, soak it in WD-40, heat with MAP gas. 0 effect. Then I heard about Torx wrenches, bought one, and it just took the bolt off like butter with 0 stripping. All wrenches should be Torx wrenches. I guess the one I bought was the same design but not with the name Torx because that's probably a trademarked brand name.

Also it seems the top-paying trades are: roofing,HVAC "altitude" installer, high-rise tree chainsaw cut (I don't know the english term. the thing were you climb a tree with a harness to chop down the branches), and working in an Auto factory.
Aero-space mechanic, and underwater welder\ underwater chainsaw use are beyond my skills\pay-range, but I mention them because they pay GOAT among blue-collar jobs.

>>196
>Aero-space mechanic,
You can get into it. I know a couple guys that do that for a living, but it seems you're going to have to do a lot of traveling for work depending.

>Laborwave
That genre's already got a name its called industrial

>cranes
they're built modular and mostly preassembled, only thing that needs site work is a foundation (which happens quietly and relatively quickly with how fast concrete can be made to set)
it's actually beautiful, we haven't done modular construction like this for far too long.

ARE there people whom, unironically like industrialization? as in; rejecting ruralism, agrarianism, pastoralism? Who do they LIVE with themselves, knowing they advocate factories, steel mills, car factories, extraction of natural resources? airports, shopping malls, project development, portuary operations??
They are urbanite yuppies!! pampered anti-tiny-town nightclub-going whoremongers!! POSH HOOD RATS

>>202
Usually their main argument for industrialisation isn't imporoving lives but imperialism for the sake of improving lives

>well the locals don't know the benefits of their own land, it's natural progression to introduce them to industrial might to turn their barren wasteland into paradise of production, if only you commies comprehend without western factories you won't see progrss in Palestine/injun lands before setting/African villages/north korea, they all need western style industrialization m'kay?

Without sounding like a trad volkish vgh retvrrner or a cottagecore girl. Why isn't rejecting the city and building a farm with your knowledge a neat idea?

This looks like a good tip, but how are you suppost to aim the nail accuratly when you swing the hammer like this?

>>204
How are you going to get clothing? Tools? Pay taxes? Because you arent going to make enough money by selling surplus potatoes.

Any pizzaboys in here? Do businesses actually charge you for every time you deliver an order a 0001 millisecond after 30 minutes? Do you lose your salary of it? I thought it was a joke.

>>208
Yeah i hear you
>Clothes
Usually i sew stuff from the fly market so this shouldn't be a problem. Never bought a clothing piece over 20 bucks if we disregard backbags
>Tools
Yeah you're right, tools arent cheap and unless you want to start smelting the basic hand tools in your backyard like a maoist farmer. You'll need more bucks before you become self reliant and making it off of potato extras isn't enough.
>Pay taxes?
If you're an American i might envy you for this, you guys complain and whine and meme about yoshi the tax fraudster when your tax rate is ever above 10%, where i am the tax can reach 40 and people don't complain. Bitches

I got a new manager and he's making everyone change how they stock.
Normally, since we're overnight stockers, everyone gets their aisle and their freight, then they stock and make it look pretty by morning, then we all go home.
Now, we have to work off the pallet, and only one pallet at a time. This leads to massive traffic for pallet jacks, and no down stacking to plan your freight. You just have to grab a box and go to where it belongs and stock the shelf.
<Only touch each box once

It took 4 of the fastest stockers 50% longer to finish the frozen aisles because each pallet is already sort of organized, so instead of going to different aisle, everyone was crowding around one area getting in each other's way and waiting to get into a door.

<I'm just trying to increase stocking efficiency.
Here's a list of things that will increase stocking efficiency
>Ready access to box cutters
>Ready access to scanners
>Ready access to water
>Ready access to carts, ladders, and (working) pallet jacks
>A functioning break room with microwaves from this century and silverware to improve morale
>Increased wages (or even a bonus for Christ sake)

God I hate Walmart

I love driving trains, im trains gender

Would you join them for lunch? (They brought cards)

Only real communist ITT.

More trains = More communism

>>217
>It's only a small step from mass transit to communism
That is 100% true. You build enough trains you will become communist. In 2050 China will have built enough rail infrastructure that they will become communist.

the idea of free food just really grinds porky gears.

Re-affirming our stance on the labor aristocracy

As has been confirmed via numerous of our polemic and on-the-ground practice and action, the Rural People's Party upholds the principle that the majority of the so-called 'working class' in the imperialist epicenter U.S.A. is a bought-off labor aristocracy, with a vested interest in supporting imperialism and glutting themselves on superprofits stolen through the imperialist exploitation of the Third World. This principle applies particularly to the oppressor nations within the imperialist epicenter U.S.A. We applaud the idea of the "death of the west" in the sense of an end to and the destruction of First World capitalism, imperialism and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and, as a militant communist party of the Juche type, we realize that all physical and mental effort should be applied within the imperialist epicenter U.S.A. for the "death of the west" operating inside the figurative "west." We attribute the Maoist Internationalist Movement as being the domestic originator of the correct position on the non-revolutionary status of the labor aristocracy.

We apply strict class analysis in tandem with on-the-ground practice and believe that revolution is possible inside North America only when operating on the principle of eschewing the myth of majority U.S.A. worker "exploitation" and dropping all apologetics to the labor aristocracy, bourgeois and petit-bourgeois and upholding class analysis with professional revolutionary effort. According to Kim Il-Sungism, each revolution for socialism and communism must be waged according to the material conditions in one's own country. Revolutionary potential exists in the imperialist epicenter U.S.A. within the lumpenproletariat, oppressed nations and with those coming from the labor aristocracy, bourgeois and petit-bourgeois elements who have betrayed their class privilege and become class traitors under democratic centralism and party life, which means actually betraying their own class privilege in the interest of establishing the Dictatorship of the Proletariat over persons of their own class origin (read: "class suicide.") Would-be revolutionaries following incorrect line need to drop the sick colonialist attitude of First World intellectuals leading the Third World revolutionaries, whether through fake "internationals" or proclaimed new currents and instead practice non-interference, consolidate our forces with self-reliance under militant communism of the Juche and Songun type and thus strike for the death of the west IN the west, plunging our hands into the waters of hegemonic U.S. imperialism and turning those waters to poison. Death to the bourgeois society! Up with the masses!

This thread reminded me of a Uber driver who hanged a sign on the back of his seat saying something like "please do not give me less than 4stars on the app, some of us get buried under other drivers in the app if we're three stars and a half and we end up without fares and unable to pay rent, I'm trying to help you get to your place however you want, I'll do my best and this is the least you could do to me"

Schooling is the same way

are forklifts good enough for this thread

>>245
For once I agree, forcing children to wake up so early, not getting enough sleep, probably retards their development.

>>247
And the forced micromanaged socialisation.
And the decreasing amount of outside playtime

Absolutely

That depends on how we think of OSHA certification and regulations

bumping in good thread

You hit the woman
Take the $20
Buy the gun which somehow costs $20
The gun is useless against the gunman
You have to hit him too because it's somehow quicker

Is this somehow a critique of the prison industrial military complex?

not in my experience; if they do, they're charging the company and not you

I don't work I give advice and feels for free.

Since you mention Torx wrenches, Torx screws are a thing too but the square headed screws Canadians use also are good. Philips head screws are awful always slipping and stripping.

They throw away donuts for being stale but once it is taken outside tons of people who work at donut shops and bakeries will give you free donuts if you ask for them before they throw them out, and nothing stops you from dumpster diving for them if it isnt in a locked dumpster area. Ive gotten free donuts.

Uber and Lyft drivers should also use Mobicoop or Companero and the like to put Uber and Lyft out of business. I havent used them personally though so I am not sure how good they are for the drivers and riders.

>The photographic negative is in the Bettmann Archive, owned by the Visual China Group.

lol China owns that photo now

>The first man from the right, holding a bottle, has been identified as Slovak worker Gustáv (Gusti) Popovič. The photograph was found in his estate, with the note "Don't you worry, my dear Mariška, as you can see I'm still with bottle" written on the back.

>using an electric drill to drive screws into wood
First of all, you should ideally use an impact driver, but if an electric drill is all you've got (like me) then remember to set the power as low as possible to drive the screw until the head is flush with the surface of the wood. Too many retards set it to max and then drive the screws into the wood, cracking the wood, making the connection weaker, making it harder to unscrew in case you need to adjust because the wood has closed around the screw head.

If a head of a screw breaks off, rather than pull the screw with pliers or whack at it with a hammer like an imbecile, grab the visible part of the screw with the three prongs of the drill bit holder, tighten it and then just unscrew the broken screw.

>Cutting wood
When cutting wood to precise lengths or cutting out precise amounts to make joints, remember that the hand saw and electric circular saw both have a thickness and you need to take it into account.

>Wood glue
Wood glue is fantastic at holding wood together. People hear the word "glue" and think it's like.paper glue. Nah, it penetrates the two pieces of wood and then fuses together. That is why the surfaces you're gluing should be rough. Sanded surfaces have a lot of the pores closed (that's what sanding does) and the glue can't penetrate as well, which means it can't hold as well. When a screw is added to a glued joint, the screw is there to keep them together while the glue fuses/dries. Wood glue sets in about 10mins, but it takes around 24h to dry and harden (in normal, dry conditions). Use a wet cloth to wipe away any extra glue.

There's lots more one learns while woodworking. There's loads of "tricks" that only click once you're actually working with the wood. It all comes with experience.

it must feel bad to be wrong when you've never considered robinson and pozidrive superiority. good luck when your torx rounds out and its back to the sparkelator for your trusty crowbar flat blade

Anybody do wastewater or drinking water? Or if not and you have a problem with your septic tank or whatever I will try to help. I used to feel like a loser when I was still a meritocratic lib starting out working in poo water but I love this shit now.

You know I was thinking, not only are we not salting workplaces, we're not even helping fellow leftists get jobs. I think that's the best mutual aid you can do is help get a fellow leftist a job or a better job. We should have networks getting our people into good gigs.

good idea. rightoids and stormfags do this all the time.
