Altruism maybe? The structure costs would probably be harder to cover than finding mad amazon workers who want to improve working standards
- mywittyname 6y agoThat would leave the job either half-complete, done by an overworked person, or available only to independently wealthy people.
- sodality2 6y agoMeh, I don't think so. You probably couldn't pick a random union member but there's gotta be someone smart, driven, and mad enough to do it for free and do a good job at it. Hell, if I had the skills and resources to, I would.
- simlevesque 6y agoYou are advocating for slavery, unpaid work. If you willfuly agree to unpaid work, you will be such a bad union leader, don't bother. You missed the entire point.
- sokoloff 6y agoDoing something that helps you and helps your similarly-situated fellow worker seems like something that would qualify you for a union leadership role. Further: People do all kinds of unpaid work to make their community or shared experiences better without (most of?) us accusing them of advocating for slavery.
- sodality2 6y agoSlavery implies force. What I said explicitly required volunteering. That's like calling volunteering slavery. Am I a slave for working at my hospital in the summer?
- krageon 6y agoUnpaid work isn't slavery, it's volunteering. It's only slavery if (for example) you're locked up in prison and beaten by a guard if you don't do it.
