The Yanga Project

One of the beautiful yet eerie ironies of unregulated industry growth is that as the number of companies in control of our production of goods decreases, the ability to track these products becomes, well, simpler.

Lets start demanding where this money is going!

"... American companies are now spending more than $22 billion a year on “programmatic ads,” the kind of advertising that is bought with little human oversight.

Awesome read showcasing the Sleeping Giants. Hold companies that have ads on Fake News sites accountable.

How to Destroy the Business Model of Breitbart and Fake News Many companies don’t know that their ads are appearing next to abhorrent content. Tell them.

Adam Saleh's viral video regarding discrimination inspired my first Yanga Report:

Delta merged with Northwestern Airlines in 2008. Most of the company’s 80,000 employees are not unionized since the finalization of the merger in 2010. Its operating margin (the profit a company retains after factoring in its costs / its total net sales) has increased primarily as a result of cheaper fuel, but there is no note of any overall raises attributed to labor for flight attendants and personnel.

Delta's pilots are still unionized through the Air Line Pilot's Association. Delta just signed a contract for 475 million to guarantee a pay raise for pilots that will go in effect for 2017. As of now, there is no evidence on Delta providing a pay raise for non-unionized workers.

The corporation provides a decent benefits package and very favorable travel benefits, but the current employees also site the pay as being unfavorable and too low. (Glassdoor Reviews)

The frustration and corporate culture Delta is creating amongst its non-pilot members could be indirectly contributing to the rising number of discrimination cases amongst Delta's personnel. Delta recently made a policy change in response to Tamika Cross, a black female doctor, posting a viral complaint about being discriminated against by airport personnel.

Two simple solutions for Delta include having the administration dedicate some of the revenue funds to training their own personnel to be more culturally conscious. Additionally, a gradual pay raise for all non-pilot workers would also counter the unspoken tensions that may or may not exist amongst the corporation’s current employees.

A solid read that offers a glimpse to social impact seen at every scale of power, from individuals to multinational organizations.

"[...] social entrepreneurs are distinct from direct social-service providers and social advocates. They “seek to shift a stable but suboptimal equilibrium in a way that is neither entirely mandated nor entirely market-driven. They create new approaches to old and pernicious problems. And they work directly to tip society to a new and better state.”

Appreciate all of you for liking this page so far. Thank you.

The Only Way Forward Can the new world order be saved by humanism?

To the first cohort invited to this page, welcome! This is a consumer choice platform. One solution to the world's neoliberal current is quite simple. We need to create a more informed consumer base.

Over the next couple years of Trump presidency, corporations are going to push CSR at the front of their agenda in hopes to win us over. I'm worried that their efforts won't be sincere. This is a community page dedicated to making sure we stay as informed as possible.
