> Companies should only do the minimum required by law? Whether they should or not is irrelevant, it's what they do. Companies com and go, companies that spend more than they have to tend to go faster, employers change even more frequently. Do you want to put up this fight every time you change employers? Do you want to be stuck at one employer because changing jobs means losing benefits? > We only win if everyone gets the benefit? I don't consider getting these benefits for the privileged few with job mobility to be much of a win. Even for them it's probably not a long term win. > The only solution is not "make the government mandate the solution". It's not the only solution just the best solution, more unionization would be another solution that's way better than a piecemeal company by company approach though. The government solution also offers up some much better alternatives in cases like healthcare.
