In regards to a union, perhaps that or a guild would be ideal, similar to the other major unions in the US. Strong labor laws generally do not get passed in a vacuum, often its at the behest of the union that good labor laws get passed to protect workers.
I'm a very pro-Union person myself, I've seen & experienced what an employer with total power and a divided workforce can do, and you are essentially powerless. The true power of a union is the ability to organize with your coworkers to walk out and picket your employer to fight for better working conditions & proper pay, which is a powerful tool to level the playing field.
Otherwise, you are a replaceable cog in the machine to your employer, since they can generally handle a fair amount of churn, just not a work stoppage.
- marcosdumay 10y agoYou know you got some seriously good thought when your karma starts to swing like that. The opposite is, all of my posts with more than 30 points are stupidly obvious stuff that nobody would miss, but were slightly funny on the context.
- moyta 10y agoSure, what I write may be good, but it is polarizing. Its much easier to get karma writing the obvious answer that OP may not know as compared to writing about controversial things like worker protections & how their destruction hurts everyone, or how Soylent is unhealthy and we know very little about nutrition overall, let alone anywhere near enough to try to engineer a product to replace food entirely.
