It does seem off but it's directly from the Department of Labor data. The DOL LCA filings often have these misreportings where the hourly rate field is entered incorrectly, or an extra digit is added. Data cleanliness is still a huge issue, I'm realizing after working on this project.
Thinking about adding an outlier removal or flagging feature to get the obvious ones out.
It's a huge grey area, largely up to the NLRB to decide when anti-union campaigners cross the line. They did similar tactics in the Alabama vote and were slapped for that behavior[1], and many other infractions, with an order to re-do the vote[2]. Amazon's execs and lawyers clearly think they have enough to lose (and their workers to gain) that it's worth finding exactly where the line is.

U.S. labor law forbids companies from spying on organizing activities or leaving employees with the impression they are under surveillance. It also prohibits other actions if they are found to be coercive." https://www.reuters.com/business/amazon-interfered-with-unio...
go look up what other illegal union busting behaviors they've gotten away with. and look at democrat or republican behaviors, such as biden actively strike-busting the other day
strike busting public unions is good. we should never recognize public unions. there is no middleman to reduce profits with the government, higher wages means we pay more, there's no "evil capitalist" who will get less instead.
An alternative perspective to look at this is that orgs like USPS are services provided to Americans because they're the kind of services that would otherwise be inaccessible to great majority of Americans. For this reason, increasing the wages and potentially attracting better workers and increasing the morale (and thus performance) of existing workers are beneficial for Americans.
The NLRB[1] is supposed to handle it. I have no idea how they would rule on forcing anti-union propaganda on employees today.
And today's SCOTUS seems to want to defang all government agencies' ability to rule on or enforce . . . anything, really, based on their rulings on the EPA and the SEC. Well, unless it's the government trying to enforce on reservation land - that is newly allowed.
They've hired a bunch of outside agencies to help union-busting. My guess is that it came from one of them, and that Amazon will sue them for whatever damages are caused by this.
It takes the embedded font out of your PDF, and then maps non-latin characters (japanese, cyrillic, etc) to render as if they looked like a latin character. So in the example on the site. "ӕ" will render as a "D" using my special font. And "ㅈ" will draw the "B" glyph. Then I do a replacement on the underlying text so all "B" are replaced with "ㅈ". It is more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
So basically it's a type of Caesar cipher where letters are mapped to something else one-to-one. Very easy to decrypt / reverse. If this tool ever became popular there would be hundreds of scripts to defeat it.
And as it is, it does not prevent "OCR", only copy-paste.
looks like it's actually one-to-many across unicode, if so then you could think of it as approaching one-time-pad encryption, with the key being the font
if the generator crafted a new font every time, never used the same codepoint twice, and kept the font separate from the document (pre-shared by being installed on the intended receiver's machine) then it'd be uncrackable!
The civil rights act, the ADA only apply to "public accommodations". Many country clubs are not open to the public, they won't provide services to non members and aren't covered by the laws that make discrimination based on age or other classes unlawful.
Returning to the thought, one obvious argument for the theater would be that, since they're giving preferential pricing to other people who are also over 40, they are not discriminating against you based on your membership in the protected class. But that would still seem to leave them open to a claim that you should be given the child's pricing as soon as you turn 40.
> Adda is a beloved pastime that's unique to Kolkata
As others have pointed out. The idea of Adda isn't that uncommon. Even the specific word, Adda, is just as native to Bangladesh. The Bengali ethnicity extends beyond the Indian border. Wish the author had mentioned that.
When I was a senior in college, I had lined up 3 virtual onsites with Groupon. I forget what the question was, but I bombed the first interview so hard they cancelled the rest of the day :(
At the time it hurt, a lot. Looking back, I guess I understand. It wasn't worth their time to invest 2 more hours in interviewing a person who was so obviously not meeting their bar.
