Employee Rights and Responsibilities
I never understood why so many in the US are anti union and I don’t just mean bosses but also workers. Unions serve such an important function. I’m Germany unions are much more normalized though that doesn’t stop companies like Liddl from trying to stop people from forming unions also temp workers are shitbout of luck most of the time, but overall unions have done so much good to fight for employee eights. Yes they can be stuck up their own arse sometimes bit dam i prefer them to the greedy ceo’s who think it’s ok to go to space while their workers don’t even get minimum wage and are so strictly timed that they can’t even take a shit.
There’s a ton of anti-union propaganda that has been largely successful, especially in the southern US. Then, companies that are headquartered say, up here in the Rust Belt, move their operations down there or overseas. Then bad actors go, “Well, what did the union even do for you?” It’s ugly over here.
Jesus Christ that is messed up. I swear these idiots want to take us back to 19th Century labor conditions. 😒
That is exactly what they want.
