This is the corruption of the US system of business and capitalism (and I'm a capitalist). Expenses are passed down on the employees, and the ruling class reaps the reward.
- jachee 4y agoIf only there were some way to, say, unify the—to use your word—employees as some sort of collective unit, so that the—again, your word—ruling class has a little less power to reap all the reward.
- listenallyall 4y agoInstead of complaining that your profession lacks a union, why not pick a different career that will allow you to easily join one? Problem solved!
- CRConrad 4y agoA) Why should any profession lack a union? B) If the problem is that one profession lacks a union, wouldn't the more natural solution be to start one? Problem solved!
- listenallyall 4y agoSure, you're welcome to start one. My hat is off to you and/or 'jachee' if it comes to fruition. That takes a lot of real work, however, as opposed to posting a few snarky internet comments and calling it a day.
- CRConrad 4y agoI don't have to; where I live, we already have one. So yeah, sure, easy for me to post snarky comments. But at least not quite as useless as posting comments that are not only snarky but also idiotic, like comments to the effect that one shouldn't have a union. So what are you doing to start one?
- CRConrad 4y agoFunny how you use these words beginning with Uni... On the whole, they remind me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
- andsoitis 4y ago> Expenses are passed down on the employees, and the ruling class reaps the reward Employees get paid a salary to work. That's it. That's the agreement. There are no expenses passed down to employees - you're just making that up.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoThe misery gets passed down. The abuse and shitty situations and complete lack of power -- that gets passed down. Sometimes the expenses get passed down, but I'll agree that's rare. However I have had employers bill me for my uniforms, and I ain't talkin about the military.
- roflyear 4y agoEmployees get paid to work, but are abused. Sure they can leave, but things aren't always that simple. Things are normalized. Just like you can "just leave" an abusive relationship, but instead much of the system is abusive to their employees.
