As an ex supermarket manager I can tell you this lady is 100% correct
and that for part time workers it is much worse! Areas that had unions
were better than areas that did not have unions for workers!
Fantastic episode, Mr. Wolff. Your guest was so honest and insightful, what so many of us live and know. I feel trapped by it, these poverty wages-and you better accept them, with a smile!-but giving voice makes it more bearable. Thanks 🙏
This hits home as someone who’s worked these jobs a lot, got a degree, was a journalist for a bit, and is now back to this after the economic collapse.
We need a revolt against this system that empowers everyone.
Thank you prof Wolff for having Anne on your show! The first step is seeing and understanding the problem of capitalism in order to replace it with something better.
The capitalist system has broken the social contract. It must not be given any consideration by individuals moving forward. Any money left in any of these obstructed funds will probably be grifted anyway. I hate it here in the US. The place is the "shithole" our dipshit politicians describe other countries to be. It's an absolute joke
Well put. A great interview and i like what your guest says, there is “dignity” in all Work.. Corporations making billions and the staff cannot afford a sandwich for dinner. Imagine being hungry and surrounded by acres of food.. its cruel beyond belief..
I worked in a grocery store for 25 years and I've seen much of what you talked about now I was in a Union store the wages were better but still unaffordable to live on
Thank you Prof Wolff and Ann Larson...I read Nickel and Dimed years ago, during a time when I had been working some low wage jobs and it made me feel so much less ashamed of my financial predicament...I look forward to reading Clean Up on Aisle Five...
