America needs some basic rights for workers, no sick leave you are just out.

  It's a bit surprising to me that the labor unions couldn't negotiate this, as some of the biggest / most powerful unions out there already. If even they can't, what chance do the rest of us have :/

    After a honeymoon period, labor unions usually become just another middleman.

      The corruption angle I can believe (the sibling post), but "middleman" is kinda a weird way to think about it? In my experience, an un-unionized workplace doesn't mean you have more direct negotiation power. It generally means you have zero. Unions at least provide some collective bargaining power.

    The major labor unions are just as corrupt in their own ways as the capital unions one'd expect them to be working against.
