That way only union members get fair pay. Most people dont have a union to join. More name calling for suggesting fixing the root of the problem? Good talk.

All the more reason to try and unionize their non-union job. The IWW will gladly help you unionize with your coworkers.

I'm fortunate to live in a state with better laws than federal, and have a marketable skill anyways. I'd love some more vacation/sick days and decent health care, but that's america. Definitely no unions happening where I work.

Unions are the source of basically all labor laws. Unions fix this.

Unions try to fix it, by trying to fix labor laws. The end goal is fixing labor laws right?

No.

Then... What?

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You question isn't clear.

What's the goal?

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Living wage jobs and fair compensation for work.

But not for everyone, just union members. Got it
