I mostly donate to NGOs and political parties directly; I get to see my dollars go directly to those who help those in need, and as a party member I get the opportunity to shake hands with legislators and talk policy with them directly. I helped get the husband of a friend elected mayor of my city. This has had a meaningful impact.
I see unions having enormous utility for those living where there is effectively one employer, and who have no real market for their labour. That's where unions shine.
- sudosysgen 6y agoUnions don't have to be limited to a single employer, and their actual advantage isn't any of that, their actual advantage is that they allow you to effectively withhold your labour, which is even more effective if you are in high demand. In any case, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
- dleslie 6y agoIf I'm in high demand then I don't need any help finding leverage; other, potential employers are leverage enough.
