That is literally how it should work. That is why I (living in Austin) do not vote for local elections in Berlin.
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoShould have said “sleep” not “live”. Working somewhere full time should entitle you to some say.
- dmitrygr 4y agoHm, I am not sure that my nanny or housekeeper should have a say in how I run my household. The cooks at McDonalds do not get to say how McD runs their business. I would argue that that scales up correctly.
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoWorkers should have a say in their working environment. Unions are the best way to ensure that. A nanny can’t exactly employ collective bargaining so unionization won’t work there, but most people aren’t working alone so that’s an exception.
- dmitrygr 4y agoYou are right. Working environment. They can opine about that. House prices aren’t working environment, they are sleeping environment as you said.
