Were I a slave and then given an opportunity to be a indentured servant, sure I'd agree. That doesn't mean I live in good conditions. Yea, I could terminate the agreement and move on to being a slave again, but why would I?
It's an agreement made under duress, we can do better for these people. Don't you agree?
- randomdata 10y agoYes, I agree that fairness and freedom is the problem here. That's literally what the whole comment was about. A union helps take away fairness and freedom so that the employees benefit.
- anigbrowl 10y agoYou are assuming your premise as your conclusion.
- randomdata 10y agoWell, that's the topic at hand. If the premise needs discussion, we can discuss it.
- BurningFrog 10y ago> That doesn't mean I live in good conditions I think this is the core misunderstanding of the left in this area. Choices are only thought to be voluntary if they are between "good" alternatives, where "good" is measured by the standards of US college educated middle class.
- state_less 10y agoHopefully most us agree indentured servitude is not a good condition to be in, so neither option is good here and yet you might come to some agreement.
