Although I support the motives behind the accused's actions, said actions have now likely put that entire facilities out of work. So said protesting actions just cut off his nose to spite his face. A living wage should be mandatory in any civilized country.

I mean, it’s a building for and in behalf of paper products. I assume it’s insured.

Except they'll just raise prices to cover the loss.

But also about the money, because all they had to do was pay them enough to live.

Insurance, to the rescue!

Hmm... this was intentional... no money's for toi

It was intentional by the arsonist. That is exactly what insurance is for. Unless the arsonist was the biz owner or engaged by the biz owner to set the fire.

Shit like this needs to be happening all over the continent constantly. Do not let up until we get strong workers protections back. Remember the coal wars, the haymarket massacre, do-nut riots, stonewall. This is what fighting for rights has always looked like. So let’s get back to it, and take our power back. Labour strong!

If these corporations truly cared about their employees they would ensure they were properly compensated until they get back on their feet. They would’ve also ensured the employees would’ve been properly compensated so this never would’ve happened in the first place.
dpat13
This is a very French way of making a point. I hope they listen along with every other company that doesn’t pay their employees a living wage

memepawn
Totally good with more things like this happening. Pay your fucking workers a livable wage, or run the risk of “accidents” ruining inventory.
Learn from the Five Guys CEO that handed out millions in bonuses saying, “I didn’t want anyone shooting me”
wozat
If everyone who was underpaid burned things down, we wouldn't have any things left
MirroredImage
Those doing the burning already have nothing. That isn't a threat.
Nor is it really an argument against radical action, seeing as the regular routes have long become hostile to anything resembling a working social structure that doesn't create unlivable misery as a main export
MeestowKitty
Good.
bekkayya
if thats your ideological take, your next step is to pick a number of people you feel comfortable sacrificing for your society to function ever year. good luck with that number, you're responsible for it.
wozat
Well why burn down the place where lots of people work and earn at least some money (even if not enough), instead of the mansions of the executives?
bekkayya
because you have access to where you work and dont have access to where they live? for starters?
WolvesAreTheBestPeople
Probably going to be a scene repeated all across American one day until the Oligarchs suffer the same fate.
just4thelolz
Probably very well insured. Rich people have class solidarity.

I want to see them find out that video was made by an executive level prick and they all get nothing because arson.
OvertleyBadpickuplines

Building and inventory. But being out of business till everything got rebuilt is probably not insurable.
bks2000
It’s called Business Interruption Insurance
KoalaOnTheJuice
Their premiums will go up until they pay their workers better though.
GreyKnightTemplar666
Until it happens enough and insurancers won't cover them anymore, we have to keep it up
tater1337
Delay, deny, defend
cuzitsthere
Loss of revenue, rebuilding, rerouting logistics, product replacement, negative publicity, loss of stock pricing... It ain't ALL insurable and, if it is, it just spreads the hurt to the insurance company
kurvarVillain
Insurance companies are the worst. They have hedge funds that are buying property, causing the housing shortage. So they can hemorrhage money, too. Fuck those guys.
furrnandovalenzuela
You'd be surprised. I work in commercial property insurance and even some of the big clients cut a LOT of corners on their policies to save money. Plus carriers like to add exclusions at renewal and arson is definitely an exclusion I've seen on policies. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if either it's specifically excluded or they voluntarily excluded arson to save on premium to appease the shareholders
pothocket
You... you think the insurance company is gonna just be like "you're one of the good ones. Here's a check for $200 mil"?
thedarklord187
They might for the first one but you lose a couple more warehouses and guess what they ain't covering shit
KuldFyt
I mean, undoubtedly well insured enough that the c-suite will still get their bonuses. Probably not well insured enough that the workers and bottom-level managers will keep their jobs.
thedarklord187
Just gotta find those residences
just4thelolz
Exactly. Funny how that works.
Oatmealman1
It's just too bad it wasn't the ceo's house

etherbunny41
From the guy who burned the place down, citing it as his motivation for the actions depicted and resulting in the destruction of all that property. Why, do you have s0omething non-anecdotal to show they were being paid enough to live? Oh, and remember it's in California btw, so cost of living is higher there.

IJustWantToMakeAComment
And remember kids, creating unions was meant to make action like this unnecessary. Since all the union busting and corruption, we haven’t been able to properly negotiate so now we need to resort to this. This is the top guys fault, not the guy who lit the fire

Busting unions and busting protests
Wapusk
Clause in my union contract says we cannot participate in solidarity walk outs... with our own union. At the contract planning meeting this weekend I am going to ask that we get the fuck rid of that. Should be a high priority item. Injury to one is an injury to all, unless this is just a sham and we're only interested in getting ours, fuck everone else.
thedarklord187
Yep fuck the anti union corpo plants that the corpos have tainted the Union leaders with they've been doing this shit for a long time putting their bootlickers to poison the wells there's a reason why there's such a stigma against unions nowadays and it's not because unions are bad it's because the corpo jackasses at the top don't like unions and never have you realize if you read history about the union busting during the industrial revolution.

The system is destroyed and broken buddy You're not taxing shit You're not getting represented for shit Time to rise up and fight with the working class fight the rich eat the rich destroy the rich they don't deserve to be in existence

DukeDarkwood
Every time these people try forming a union, the companies break it up, or fire those involved. Sometimes even shutter franchisees, if they're a franchise-model company. Starbucks would rather close a few locations than deal with unions.
We did used to tax the rich. They were incentivized to invest in either the company or public works, just to have less taxable profit. But Reagan gutted that, and others reduced it more, and now those companies pay the government to keep it low.
KitchenClean
He was employed by a third party. The employees that worked for Kimberly-Clark said that they were paid well. Now several hundred people are without jobs. Insurance will cover the building. The working class will continue to suffer.
thedarklord187
Quit being an apologist boot licker for the corpos those employees that allegedly claimed they were being paid well are full of shit The warehouse workers in that plant made $16 an hour in California which is literally basically a slave wage in that state those contract workers the one in which burned it down were being paid even less and treated even worse this all could be prevented by unions people seem to have forgotten their history about the union busting and the industrial revolution
YouAreTheInsultMaster
They hired contractors specifically to not pay them well and keep their hands clean
Skywatcher16
source that the employees are now either laid off or otherwise going without pay? please and thank you.
DVSBSTrD
Then why is the wearhouse burning and not the top guy? Protests mean nothing without justice.
DangerBaer
If you begin with murder, it leaves you nowhere else to go.
Come on, be reasonable.
darkninja2992
Because the top guy was not within range of the lighter, but the product was

Because property destruction historically works pretty well. You don't NEED to START with the murder, you can ramp up if nothing else works.

It could be argued that America started when some folks threw some tea into a harbor in protest of taxes. This has some symetry with that event, I think
Xenarion
The warehouse burning hurts the company and thus its owner.
jstarlen
Warehouse is insured. Workers' profits already paid for it. The owner gets a reimbursement, rebuilds cheaper, keeps a bonus. Eat the rich.
thedarklord187
So what I'm hearing is burn down more warehouses until the insurance company is won't ensure them sounds like a sound strategy
NKato
The CEO was not available.
mindstorm8191
Pretty much this. The CEO isn't going to hear complaints from a lowly worker. He wouldn't even let you near him. He might never even come to the town this warehouse is in. And finding out where they'll be in the world, where you can physically reach them, is near impossible, let alone afford to do it.
This at least damages the business - and nobody got hurt. You do what you can. But now the guy doing this is in jail.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
can we break him out
thedarklord187
Please do so
jamiedBreaker
They keep themselves intentionally gated from day-to-day operations. The less the employee makes, the less of a chance they'll ever even see the guy. I very nearly got to see the CEO of Petco (the one that most recently stepped down) because the local store was chosen for a visit, but even then, I missed it and will never have the opportunity to meet a retail giant CEO gain, probably.
tzahtman
I understand why some are cheering this on but I can't help but wonder how many people who were also trying to get by are suddenly going to be out of work for some time. Being in Canada they probably have at least some form of social safety net that will help.
grungut
people also completely ignore that it very easily could have killed everyone else in there and spread beyond just the warehouse
StrangePaegan
Won't they qualify for unemployment?
tzahtman
I would hope so.
PostalHeathen
They're not in Canada. This happened in Ontario, California.
Xenarion
Oops, wrong Ontario.
tzahtman
Well that is unfortunate for the workers.
LitchLitch
Looking at this from a material aspect the people hurt most by this are the hourly workers here who dont have a job until the warehouse is rebuilt.
Mgmt is going to be busy cleaning up and rebuilding.
The corp just makes a claim on their insurance and get 80-90% of the value from that an a nice tax write off for the rest.
Which is why you burn down the owners houses, not the work place.
Arkham17
I don't know, if I'm the insurance company I'm going to be going through the policy with a fine-tooth comb finding a clause that means I don't have to pay.
LitchLitch
Insurance companies do that anyway, thats why corporations have litigation departments. Theyll eventually wind up paying some amount the question is just how much goes to the lawyers and how much goes to the company
eventide215
From a material perspective it's such a massive waste of resources too. That's A LOT of toilet paper that went up in flames for really no reason other than some idiot being angry. The people justifying it are making it worse.. this is why people do this crap. Keyboard warriors act like it's such a great response.. all this did was waste materials and put a lot of people out of a job instead of getting them paid what they should..
LitchLitch
Large piles of paper products burn, it is their physical nature, they dont even need an arsonist.
I always use the power principle when assigning blame, who had the most power in this situation? As usual its the rich guy in the expensive suit.
Yes, a disgruntled worker lit the fire, but it was the rich guy who caused the disgruntlement. Who did not pay for adequate safety systems. And who will come out of this smelling like a rose.
eventide215
Classic Imgurian. That makes no sense whatsoever. Not to mention you completely fail to see what I said.
LitchLitch
What part are you having problems understanding? Sense you mentioned you often have a problem understanding what people on here are trying to explain to you I dont hold out much hope but lets give this a try.
So again, what did I say that doesnt make sense to you and why?
eventide215
When did I ever say such a thing? Wow. Nice try at gaslighting I guess.
archon325
Yes, but the thing is that the those with power will always make sure that those without power experience most of the pain. It doesn't change the fact that we need to topple the system that allows for that, that exploits us and takes everything from us to give to the rich. Revolution requires sacrifice.
DevilsAdvocat
ok, but, for insurance purposes, what happens if this keeps happening?
mindstorm8191
Insurance ain't gonna keep paying out like that. They'll raise rates for a while, then just fully drop them
DevilsAdvocat
exactly
Vidikron
Arson is an add-on that I've seen businesses not have on their policies. Restaurant and a movie theater went tits up due to a disgruntled employee.
Booblygack
That has always been the case. The shit will always hit those at the bottom first. There is no way to strike at this that isn't the wealth. Also, that's not how insurance works for this - no insurer pays out for "our employee committed arson and filmed himself doing it". That's not, uh, covered.
Xenarion
Idk how the laws work where this happened, but here if my office burns down, I'm still employed and I still get paid. Probably that the insurance company foots the bill, idk about that detail. If I get laid off because of it, I get unemployment and other protection the system grants me.

LostChats
If you just lost your job because you worked there would you still be lMAOing?
mksu
Probs. Shit keeps getting worse because everyone is so desperate to avoid short term suffering that they'll keep compromising and suffering a little more to make it happen, which inevitably leads to greater long term suffering. Anything you do to stand up the oligarchs will result in collective punishment for the proles to discourage copycats, and people like you will fall for it hook, line, and sinker every time, always blaming your own class instead of those who made job loss life threatening.

LazerSpacePirate
Jobs that weren't paying a livable wage and were probably going to get taken over by ai/automation soon anyways. I can't speak on how bad conditions were at his warehouse but many manufacturing jobs are getting to this point very quickly and the stock holders do not give a single shit about the jobs they take away or how much they undercut surplus value. Most places if you even breathe "unionization" you are fired. What alternative will people have left?
demonmike777
The man who did this is trash. Anyone that condones what he did is trash. Destruction of someone else's property because you're not personally happy is horrible.

If there was an actual resistance organization sure. But we’re talking about individuals whose best chance at making things better is spreading awareness that there are other people ready to do what needs to be done. Because nobody can do it all by themselves. Organized rebellion needs to stay quiet, but in order to organize, people have to know there is something to organize around.

Looks to me like the sprinkler system the the warehouse that held exclusively flammable paper products had an under-designed sprinkler system. Seems like a good lawsuit for negligence in design, construction, permitting, oversight and other regulations.
d14z3p4m
yes we should talk about those sprinklers system more
pirateninjaunicornattacksquad
Oh no, they had a sprinkler system. It was turned off. The guy started a small fire, firemen showed up, turned off the sprinkler system and extinguished the small fire. Then, after the sprinklers were off, and as the firemen were leaving, he started a MUCH BIGGER fire.
Dude planned out the fire and executed his plan to perfection.
ElderLurkerInNeedOfaCane
If you knowingly and poorly design fire sprinkler system and it gets approved not only the designer but the city permitting reviewer can possibly be arrested.
drpain522
Sprinkler systems are not designed to extinguish fires, they are to help contain them
JarJarBinksKisser
"We dont need sprinklers, the building is older than the regulations, we are grandfathered in. It wouldd cost too much"
Gunslinger8912
Sprinkler systems are not designed to extinguish a fire. They merely delay the building burning down for 10-15 kin to allow people to evacuate and for the FD to arrive to actually put it out
brownribbon
Good reason for the insurance company to deny the claim lol.
Xenarion
My thoughts exactly.
PorneliusHubertII
Apparatus the arsonist was smart enough to wait for the FD to disarm the fire suppression in the other warehouses before committing more arson lol.
randomthingsonthenet
From what I read (and I want to be clear, this is currently in the speculation real, not verified fact), there was a small fire set first. Sprinklers went off. First responders arrived and shut off sprinklers according to protocol as fire was under control. Then multiple fires were set by the individual while the fire suppression system was down. Everything worked as it should have.
Cincinasty
I’ve heard the same.
Frostedjakes
All I've seen is the deputy fire chief saying the system was operational but could not control the fire.
choppedliveraldente
Especially the prol
livingonagiantfireball
Well protocol needs an update if this happened.

Interesting.
Kyzyl
Wow. That's pretty clever.
slightlybrokenegg
Not just because it lets it burn but because it’s probably why no one died everyone had already been evacuated. I kind of doubt it was planned that way though. Reads more like started one fire it didn’t work so he set more after and things worked out perfectly.
PineappleLoopsBroether
Arsonists who are more than just pyromaniacs are like … fetish scientists … they get their jollies on the physics of the deed at work, it’s all planned out
slightlybrokenegg
This guy isn’t a serial arsonist he started a fire as a means of protest. I doubt he planned all that out. He probably set the first fire the sprinklers put it out so he tried again.

Sure, I just felt like sharing a thing I know about.

Something about the format encourages this tbh, I get that urge there as well, like nothing else.

That's gross incompetence of the fire department then... They left before turning the fire suppression system back on?
Wtf.
Omicron416
Sounds to me like they hadn't left yet ... meaning the incompetence is in them not clearing the facility promptly to prevent exactly this from happening.
Arsonists have a weird tendency to stick around.

Not so weird. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
They could have just paid their employees enough to live

Fire suppressions systems are not a simple on off reset. The water lines have to be refilled manually and a bunch of stuff have to be reset.
If this fire happened at night, they had no reason to believe it was arson at the time, so they wouldn't have spent all night doing that, they would have come back to do it in the morning.

Even if they suspected arson, they would normally not expect a repeat. I donot think this has happened before.

Except that we all know it was the management team of that company, or the building owner, that nickel and dimed it down to shit. Who's going to sue who in that situation? Not to mention that any company worth the pot they piss in would've had an inspection done, either with internal people or external contractors, who signed off on it. Everybody has an alibi or a document or a signature to cover their ass. I just hope I can get tp tonight before stores here start gouging again.

Just thinking that if they did the math and found that the very low-cost inventory (tissue paper, come on...) times the very low fire risk (except for pissed off workers) could be priced lower than a sprinkler system big enough to put out a mountain of kindling, that's what they would do. I notice the distance from neighbours in the three directions visible on the photo as well. Risk management.

In my locality insurance, and local authorities require 6 month inspections of fire prevention systems.

If you want a real answer: the person who would end up being held responsible would be the either the person who signed the safety inspection, or the company they represent. Unless they could prove that the system was up to code when it was signed, and then changed after. If that's the case then the person(management) who allowed the factory to continue operating whilst under approved safety standards, would be held ultimately responsible.

Multiple fires in multiple areas will overwhelm the vast majority of sprinkler systems
Eyeetsass
It seems like they should have paid people enough to live.

Indeed

Sadly now the whole warehouse staff will be out of work

Guess they got time on their hands to set more fires, then

My understanding was like 75% of them were part time contract to hire anyways. They'll just be shuffled to another job by their agency.
Eyeetsass
They didn’t have jobs. They were being exploited on a temporary basis.
Lynkfox
200%. Not excusing the shitty practice of temp agencies but at least they won't all be completely without *some* income.
But unfortunately to send the message that needs to be sent some people will end up hurt, economically at the least. We need to be ready to help our neighbors when this happens and to reach out if it happens to us. And as this tide grows we need to ride it for all its worth

But did anybody die?

No injuries or deaths
DoomyDoomyDoom
Worse! No injuries! Those poor health insurance CEOs aren't getting to withhold care from anyone! (/S since I know this took place in a civilized country that has universal healthcare)
