Anyone working anywhere from the beginning of time until at least world war 1 (but probably through world war 2) would strongly disagree with you about the all time low in workers rights.
They also aren't really wrong to reduce workers rights, since they are pretty extravagant at the moment. Where they are completely wrong is in not also knee capping the labor market power large companies have now as well. That these large corps have so much labor market power is basically the only justification for unions, for example, and that's more of a two wrongs might make a right justification rather than ascribing any virtue to a union.
- Kye 4y agoI'm having a hard time thinking of any worker right that could be described as extravagant.
- Clent 4y agoAmerica has horrible worker rights. You are clearly anti-union and anti-worker but seem to have this idea in your head that you're on their side. Please stop.
- soupfordummies 4y agoWait, are you saying worker's rights are pretty extravagant right now?
- twh270 4y agoWorker's rights are "pretty extravagant"? I completely disagree. Work/life balance for most people/families is way out of whack, we are putting far too much of our physical and mental health into work and not enough into our families and ourselves. Life should not be about working your knuckles and neurons down to nothing for 40 years just so that someone else can have a new yacht or bump their net worth 2x or 5x.
