What really seems to be happening is the jobs continue to exist as before, but they are driven under the table which is certainly not where we want most people to be working if we truly care about workers' rights. Keep in mind the true incentive of unions like the SEIU which pushed for this change is to improve the wages of their members, even if it comes at the expense of other workers who are 1) willing to work for less, 2) not represented in the union for whatever reason 3) economic progress/productivity on the whole
- Chaebixi 9y ago> Keep in mind the true incentive of unions like the SEIU which pushed for this change is to improve the wages of their members, even if it comes at the expense of other workers who are 1) willing to work for less This kind of rhetoric is classic divide-and-conquer, which oddly seems to be applied more to labor than employers. I've never heard a company criticized for working in its own best interest and not for the benefit of all employers. And honestly, I have the least concern for protecting the labor right to work-for-less than the other guy, especially if "less" is a pittance with no benefits.
