@@stupifyingstupedity2112 funny thing is, that would absolutely bring big conglomerates to their knees. imagine not only all baristas strike, but also all fast food workers, and then all retail workers, that would reallly bring things along fast. though that would also be a bit of a problem to the public if noone can buy food anywhere.
"It wasn't meant to start a fight. It was meant to end a struggle." The dialectics in that phrase. Only through fight the struggle can end, unfortunately.
If the owners can pay a union-buster $3200, they definitely can invest in better safety gear, better pay, and better injury benefits. Stunt people get injured. When they can recover, they often go right back to doing stunts. Its just better for the business to be properly staffed and pay employees well. The customers love seeing happy employees.
Capitalists will never give up their power willingly. There will always be a "power struggle" when the working class demands basic respect from the Capitalist bosses. You have to impact their bottom line to really grab their attention and make them rethink their position.
All the best for these workers. As writing from Germany with big unions, it's actually not always that bad for employers as some have said themselves (not openly of course). It can bring stabilty, as it can e.x. prevent strikes, it's easier to negociate with just some people than with each and every worker over payments and regulations. As experience shows union professional workers fight for their workers, but of course they also have the company in their head, as they obviously don't want it to go bankrupt. As one can check, Germany despite having a lot and powerful big unions, is still economically a powerful nation and rich people still get their money. Unions are not the death of companies, sometimes they can even save them, when workers bring in own ideas how to make stuff better, because workers unlike highly paid consultants actually work there and know what they do.
It's not really comparable as german companies also have "workers counsels" where the workers are able to vote on decisions in the company. My guess is that in the US the thought of the workers having the right to influence the course of the company is probably unusual.
I'm from New Jersey and went to this very location twice as a teen in the 2000's. They do deserve to be treated better than this! This type of wage slavery of course goes well before medieval times itself.
I support you all. Everything and everyone has a lobby, except workers. We used to have good unions until they were infiltrated by the corporates. People now start realizing that there is nothing but explotation without unions.
What an amazing looking show! I can’t imagine she’ll like that where workers don’t get paid what they deserve! The dangers and inherent risks of working with live animals and doing stunts like that! May all of you get what you need and deserve!
THEY AREN'T ALREADY UNIONIZED!?!? I figured they'd be part of standard show unions. All the plays and shows have unions. How the hell do they not have a union already?
Guys please use your popularity of Second Thought's channel to share this videos. These videos are very well made but gets less views since not many people are able to find out about it & yt algorithm doesn't help either.
I don't think that's a good idea. Unions should be something that's uncontroversial. Second thought makes videos about ending capitalism and such. Associating unions with that kinda content will hurt your message. Many European countries showed that capitalism can work for the benefit of the people.
IF Union vote is won & these companies aren't willing to bargain or even participate... a Union Sanctioned Strike is in order! Your job is protected & they'll feel the pain of lost profits. May be the only way to get them to respect you as human beings, hit them where it hurts! Walk out & don't let them profit off the backs of your members until you get a fair contract!!!
Capitalism is just going after everyone, left and right and it will not stop til we keep fighting them and getting we, as employees deserve. It really sucks to hear that even the Medieval Times isn't safe from it. To those who do these incredible shows, I say thank you. But I hope you get to unionize and that you get treated and paid fairly as well. Stay strong. Stay unionized.
**USA need EMPLOYER Unions.** Yes, you heard me correctly. Membership grants medium sized companies, that are often scared of Unions, because of the unknown, access to lawyers, experts financial folks and similar. That can guide companies in a manner that removes the fear of Unionization of the workers and makes sure the negotiation between the workers and the employer is done in such a manner that the bis change, correctly, over time to adapt to the new change, while also reaping the benefit of Unionized workers and proper setup that removes issues in regards to injuries and so on. The more people are Unionized. The bigger the middle class will grow and in turn demand for goods and services, like Medieval shows, will grow indirectly. Retaining access to future revenue that will keep this small to medium bis alive.
It's because they abuse the horses, some knights (not all) treat other co-workers (if you're a squire, a newbie) or not in the show, like shit and make fun of you. Happened to me and a few friends. I would NOT recommend working there. Multiple friends are on a "do not hire" list a decade later after working there, to see if they can go back. Who holds a grudge for that long, and why would you care? At one particular castle, heard a lot of talk about some jackass named Steve, had many many complaints, and I saw a heard why from others. Was an asshole, though don't know what happened to him (there were multiple Steve's btw, don't know which one exactly) but the one I saw looked like the jackass judging by his actions (stepping on people in the show, on phone during meetings, told this stuff). They transferred him multiple times I heard due to his attitude, if he's not fired, I wouldn't be surprised. Also, even though the show is rehearsed and fake, the performers get $10 an hour. Not worth it.
Are y'all sure this isn't just a bad bot? None of those generic names actually links to any anti-union pamphlets and will only lead you to generic articles on history, so either their corporate backed propaganda they've referenced is poorly named or this is just some bot firing off on the wrong video or a weird attempt at humor or trolling or something.
@@AcornHillHomestead I'm all for capitalism. However, as long as a living wage, proper benefits and safe working conditions are absent in any workplace, that's nothing but greed run amok.

Wonderful! I stand in solidarity with you and your team.
Y’all still hiring?
I think it's great but can yall stop blocking paying customers from entering the medieval times parking lot.
Diplomatic alliances with thy neighboring kingdom I see.

As a New Jersey resident. I'm absolutely proud of New Jersey medieval times for unionizing.
We need more unions!

I’m really glad Medieval Times got a union, but it really stinks that they don’t get protection under actor’s equity.

Wtf does a union buster do that makes them worth 3200? Do they make a bunch of passive aggressive threats to the employees?
I pray you all get what you want and need out of this. Its time for us all to be paid fairly.

You can call a union buster a labor educator all you want. They are still just a union buster.

Well that didn't work out well for you, did it? Queen Erin languishes in exile.
And I think they need to pay their workers more I've been at least twice and I'd be willing to pay more if it meant the workers got better pay
Nothing knows how to take advantage of employees more than a union. Good luck.
