Akira Toriyama has passed away.

I just kind of assumed he'd live to 100, putting our stuff forever. Dude was an institution.
What a bummer.
By the way, this contract expired over a year ago, in a time of unprecedented inflation. And what is the ratified offer, you might ask? Well it just so happens to be a 5% increase in wages for 2023 (with retro pay for the whole year), and a 4% increase in 2024. Not too fuckin' shabby if you ask me!
As it turns out, when you unionize every aspect of an employer who can't outsource your job and you threaten to strike over their bullshit initial offer, sometimes you get a good result. Who knew!
(It's me, I knew)
Aren't they (AMA/Bar/PE) more like guilds than unions? Not that there isn't some overlap, but they generally have different objectives.

Vaguely yeah, but the end effects for the person is going to be pretty union like. Not nearly as good as a union as seen with nurses who are smart enough to unionize. Still a lot of extra protections that you might not expect at first. There have been plenty of times when past bosses wanted to do something sketchy and I just dismissively told them no and that was the end of the conversation. Not with my license was the long answer the rare few times they pressed. It didn't stop the exploitation, but it does equalize the power amazingly fast.

This sucks. A legend has left us. The man was making manga until the end. He had such a huge impact on manga and anime, video games, and even western culture. Dragon Ball was huge for making anime grow in the west.

yeah pretty much. there is a good undercurrent to it that isn't just jokes, and it gets to stick its fingers in harry potter's face, so what more do you want really?
The AMA is not a doctor's union but it (and other professional organizations to greater or lesser extents) do share a lot of characteristics with a union. The big difference though is that professional organizations don't collectively bargain for employees.
Aside from that, a union acting in a way that is counterproductive towards labor is definitely not a disqualifying characteristic of unions. Unions very frequently act in ways that are counterproductive towards labor that is not their own membership, and even sometimes (e.g. two tier systems) in ways that are counterproductive to their own membership.
Shit, it's not unheard of for laarger unions to be pretty shitty and in some ironic cases even use union-busting tactics on their own employees and staff.
But hell if I can’t think of any besides it and Bobobo

It's still the studio that did the 2nd season, and not the legendary 1st season.
I understood it as guilds being much more exclusive with the specific goal of keeping prices for their labor high.
I'm not sure what the legal framework is in the US but here at least professional organizations are mostly about liability and accreditation. They get up to other shit too in terms of lobbying and professional networking and stuff like that too. But the main purpose of the whole thing is controlling who gets to call themselves a member of the profession because as a profession that designation has specific meaning under the law.
does Dandadan count? it has a lot of gags.
The interaction between the two main characters has been great.

So they will get protections and benefits for their members through negotiations and lobbying as well though. This can include forcing legislation that keeps the work environment manageable. For example, therapists in general in Louisiana, and I think elsewhere, have managed to get it so you can't have more than 12 people in a group. So they don't negotiate directly with employers but will with governments and other agencies to roughly the same end. As opposed to guilds that are all about cornering the market for their own benefit. The AMA as an example definitely fits that much better than most, but it is the worst example of a professional organization.
dandadan feels way more on the shonen side of things but there's humor there for sure. mashle feels more on the humor side atm to me (only through the first cour of mashle so far so maybe that's coloring my opinion of the two)
i am sorely tempted to start reading ahead on the manga, but i think i'll stick to the plan and read through dungeon meshi first
If you want to reduce the only defining characteristic of a union down to it collective bargaining for its membership I guess but that's absurdly reductive. There's substantial overlap between the two and - you may be shocked to hear this - even labor models where unions don't collectively bargain with employers at all.
Like if your union doesn't lobby, set (or try to set) professional standards, or provide any other services for its membership - doing nothing but collective bargaining you've got a pretty shit union.
Are you illiterate or just raging against an imagined strawman only you can perceive? Christ get over your forum beef and read what people actually post.
I said 'share a lot of characteristics'. Nowhere did I or as far as I can tell anyone else call professional organizations a union or that there is perfect overlap.
If you can find where I said the AMA or similar organizations are unions go off.
