Peter RileyThe new wage lifts two-thirds of the workforce above Mexico’s family <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/povertyline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#povertyline</a>, & above Mexico’s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/minimumwage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minimumwage</a> of about $1.71 per hour. A proposed nationwide shift to a 40-hour workweek without a reduction in pay (Mexico’s workweek is currently capped at 48 hours) would also mark a significant advance.<a href="https://labornotes.org/2025/04/unmoved-tariff-threats-mexican-gm-workers-win-double-digit-wage-hike" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://labornotes.org/2025/04/unmoved-tariff-threats-mexican-gm-workers-win-double-digit-wage-hike</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mexico</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeneralMotors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeneralMotors</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LaborMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborMovement</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/organize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organize</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/autoworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autoworkers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solidarity</a> Silao <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Guanajuato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guanajuato</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unions</a> SINTTIA

Peter RileyRaising Jobseeker to $80 per day—in line with the Raise the Rate campaign—and indexing it to keep up with wages would cost $9.5 billion per year.This a fraction of the cost of superannuation tax concessions ($50 billion per year) or the Capital Gains Tax discount ($15 billion), both of which mainly benefit the richest Australians.<a href="https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/jobseeker-payments-are-too-low/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/jobseeker-payments-are-too-low/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AUWU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AUWU</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/breadline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#breadline</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/costoflivingcrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costoflivingcrisis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dole</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jobseeker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jobseeker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/povertyline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#povertyline</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RaiseTheRate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaiseTheRate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unemployedworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unemployedworkers</a>

Pooka🍸Boo 👁🫣🫵Ok folks.... I'm going to try to create two hashtags. The <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/PovertyLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PovertyLine</a> is obvious to everyone. Nobody should fall below the poverty line! The <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/WealthLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WealthLine</a> is the new concept we must push everywhere in media, politics, economics, etc. Nobody should be allowed above the wealth line, Nobody. And, if you're afraid of the <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/WealthLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WealthLine</a> , then you're selfish and not really interested in a more equitable and sustainable world. Let's push this concept, folks. Especially, let's push it on our politicians!

Bin Chicken 🗑𓅠No increase to base jobseeker rate in budget means Centrelink payment remains below poverty line <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2024/may/16/australia-federal-budget-2024-jobseeker-centrelink-payments-welfare-services-australia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2024/may/16/australia-federal-budget-2024-jobseeker-centrelink-payments-welfare-services-australia</a>This latest federal budget offers little hope to unemployed people. Again, the government's safety-net is not enough for people left without work by the sad state of the economy. They should raise the dole until it's over the poverty line. Or, even better, offer a real fix in the form of a universal basic income.<a href="https://rants.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Jobseeker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jobseeker</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Dole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dole</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Budget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Budget</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Centrelink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Centrelink</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/PovertyLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PovertyLine</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/CostOfLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CostOfLiving</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/UniversalBasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniversalBasicIncome</a>
