Do they have to live a wretched existence? Exactly how wretched does it have to be to allow them the ability to organize.

- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoThe quote at the top of the comment chain is about living a wretched existence. Don't get me wrong, it's totally fine to form a union on the principle of "we're doing okay but we want more stuff", businesspeople are allowed to try and get richer with no higher principle in mind. But it's dishonest to pretend that it inherits some kind of inherent moral weight from the traditional labor movement.
