The cure - Unionisation seriously

• Galanwe 6y ago
  The cure - proper labor law. Seriously

    Which is one of the things that Unions are good at pushing for. Who do you think create laws? A single guy walking up to his Member of Congress.

      Yeah this is like two hands drawing each other.

      I guess it depends on everyone's personal experience with unions. From where I come from, unions are mainly a way for lazy employees to get immunity while doing nothing all day long. I would still maintain that if you live in a country where it's legal to be called at any time, any day, then you have a third world class labor law - go downvote US :>

    Historically, I don't think we've made much progress in terms of pro-worker labor laws without said workers first having to get together to create bargaining power. By default the power is in the hands of the ruling class, and they have no interest in handing out paid holidays, reasonable working hours, or sick leave.

      Well, there is still that old thing called universal election, where basically people can vote for their leader. If other things are considered more valuable than proper labor law (like, say, building a wall), then I guess voters get what they deserved.

    The album you’re looking for is called Disintegration, not Unionization.

      playing it in reverse should do the trick

  Police officers have pretty much the strongest unions out there and the junior folks on the force (i.e. exactly the kind of people who get put on call in tech) generally wind up stacking absurd combinations of shifts in order to be paid competitively. Rail workers, another strongly unionized profession, have it no better. I get that you like unions but just because you have a hammer doesn't make every problem a nail.
