  >A lot of manual labour jobs are protected by unions, which establish safety standards, limits to shift length and healthcare to help employees when they need it. Sounds like these employees could do with the same. I'm not comparing to those jobs. The union dishwasher in some public university cafeteria gets time off, healthcare, etc, etc. that makes his or her job much less shitty than the infinite-term temp that works beside them. I'm comparing to the temp. You can make a job better/worse by adding/subtracting pay, benefits or working conditions. If I could get tech pay and benefits for construction work I'd be doing construction. If we're gonna compare this job to others then we should compare to other jobs that are "equally shitty" not jobs that are similar but actually compensated more highly if you roll the benefits into total comp.
