You say "leave them alone" like fighting to improve people's lives is somehow victimizing them. It's truly amazing how right-wing anti-union propaganda has brain wormed into so many people.
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf someone tells you to leave them alone, then you should leave them alone. If at that point you don't then yeah you're harassing them and they're a victim. From the workers' perspective, there is an endless supply of people who will offer to take their money or the little power they have in return for supposedly 'fighting to improve their lives'. Most of them do not really share your interests, and many are actively trying to trick you to use your money and power for themselves. See for example the majority of politicians. So far this union has uninvitedly hassled these workers for months, and then reacted angrily when they said 'no thanks' in a vote, so I can understand the workers are not buying now even if they were considering it before!
- kethinov 6y ago"Offer to take their money" is an odd way to phrase "literally offering them higher wages."
- chrisseaton 6y agoLots of people will offer to fix your problems for you, like increasing your wages. Not all of them will be able to deliver. Not all of them were genuinely interested in you or your problems in the first place.
- kethinov 6y agoUnions have a long track record of working well to raise wages and improve working conditions. But I suppose that's not easy to know if the only info a person consumes about the topic is right-wing propaganda.
