I'm glad the employees are exercising their rights to organize. Whether this turns out to be good for the business and for customers remains to be seen over time.
- BizarroLand 6mo agoAny time people want to unionize, it's good for the customers even if it means the business goes under. Sure, they won't get to be customers any longer if that happens, but at least it will increase the likelihood that the products they have available are not the cause of other people's suffering.
- tjwebbnorfolk 6mo ago> it's good for the customers even if it means the business goes under Ok then I'm just not flexible enough to do the mental gymnastics involved in understanding this statement.
- BizarroLand 6mo agoPretty simple. If the only way McDonalds could make burgers to sell you was by abusing farm animals to do it, in manners far in excess of modern farming practices, wouldn't you agree that it is better that McDonald's went out of business? I feel that way about any business that can only survive by underpaying their employees. I would rather have the business not exist than to enjoy affordable goods that only exist because of excessive exploitation.
