layout: post title: "Telus-Microcell: An Unholy Union?" created: 1084864448 categories:
Microcell was seen as the one “unreasonable” player in the market that kept everyone else honest on prices. Given how Bell, Telus and Rogers have all adopted the mantra of higher ARPU and bottom-line profits, Microcell’s elimination will likely mean one thing: higher prices. Mark Evans :: Telus-Microcell: An Unholy Union?
I had to post this just for the title. Yes, this does look like a defensive move — Telus uses CDMA and Microcell uses GSM, but Telus is afraid that Microcell might fall into the clutches of Rogers. In my personal experience, Microcell/Fido has had the best customer service, certainly the best available phones in Canada. It is unfortunate that they’ve had money troubles, and it’s unfortunate that we might see more of a monopoly on telecom services.

[[Amazon]] engages in [[worker exploitation]] and is [[anti-union]].
A whopping 96% of drivers feel forced to drive dangerously to meet Amazon’s targets, according to a survey of hundreds of drivers from the Organise network.
But Amazon’s 275,000 drivers are hired through 3,000 third-party subcontractors, with whom Amazon can cancel contracts with little explanation or warning, making it particularly difficult for workers to unionize or fight to improve conditions.

Despite the fact that workers who deliver Amazon packages sport branded vests, shirts, and pants; drive Amazon-branded trucks; have schedules and wage floors set by Amazon; receive routes from an Amazon app; and can be disciplined and fired by Amazon, the company claims they aren’t technically employees.
– [[Extreme heat prompts first-ever Amazon delivery driver strike]]
On April 24, the drivers announced that they had formed a union and had bargained a contract with Battle Tested Strategies to address fair pay and worker safety in the heat. They asked that Amazon respect the terms of the new contract, which guarantees $30 hourly wages, health and vehicle safety standards, and the right to refuse unsafe deliveries.
Instead, the company immediately announced that the subcontractor “had a track record of failing to perform and had been notified of its termination for poor performance well before today’s announcement.”

Research from Italy shows that the presence of cooperative banks reduces income inequality, and a Europe wide comparison shows they are beneficial to the success of small and medium sized businesses.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies – ICTs.
Founded in 1865 to facilitate international connectivity in communications networks, we allocate global radio spectrum and satellite orbits, develop the technical standards that ensure networks and technologies seamlessly interconnect, and strive to improve access to ICTs to underserved communities worldwide. Every time you make a phonecall via the mobile, access the Internet or send an email, you are benefitting from the work of ITU.
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. [[1922]] - [[1991]].
Comprised of [[Russia]], Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan.
But that system died at the end of [[1991]], replacing a world of [[shortages]] (full pockets, empty shops) with a world of poverty and [[hyperinflation]] (empty pockets, full shops) overnight
We realised there were saboteurs and enemies among us, and we caught them, but it drove us mad for a while, and for a while we were seeing enemies and saboteurs everywhere, and hurting people who were brothers, sisters, good friends, honest comrades. Then the Fascists came, and stamping on them was bloody, nobody could call what we did then sweetness and light, wreckage everywhere, but what are you going to do when a gang of murderers breaks into the house? And the Boss didn’t help much. Wonderful clear mind, but by that time he was frankly screwy, moving whole nations round the map like chess pieces, making us sit up all night with him and drink that filthy vodka till we couldn’t see straight, and always watching us: no, I don’t deny we went wrong, in fact if you recall it was me that said so. But all the while we were building. All the while we were building factories and mines, railroads and roads, towns and cities, and all without any help, all without getting the say-so from any millionaire or bigshot. We did that. We taught people to read, we taught them to love culture. We sent tens of millions of them to school and millions of them to college, so they could have the advantages we never had. We created the boys and girls who’re young now. We did the dirty work so they could inherit a clean world.

^ [[Khrushchev]]‘s words. Reminds me a bit of [[To Posterity - Bertolt Brecht]].
Some comrades seemed to think that fine words and fine ideas were all the world would ever require, that pure enthusiasm would carry humanity forward to happiness: well excuse me, comrades, but aren’t we supposed to be materialists? Aren’t we supposed to be the ones who get along without fairytales? If communism couldn’t give people a better life than capitalism, he personally couldn’t see the point

[[Khrushchev]] again.
Politics gave the orders, in the economy of the USSR, and economists were allowed to find reasons why the orders already given were admirable
