Smaller screen please! Hopefully they keep the 8a small, or better yet, smaller

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.

Keep on fighting the good fight lol you earned me that 7.25

So if I had said:

(Improved) labor laws (obtained through the means of a union) fixes this

Would we be high fiving right now? You must be one of those union guys that stands around and does nothing cause you paid your dues and are untouchable. You dont want workers rights, you want a free ride

So you agree! Thank you, it is obvious we need better labor laws. I thought we were going to continue to butt heads for a little bit. Glad you came around. See, I'm listening.

Wanting better rights for workers is me being fed propaganda...

What is it when you do it?

I work 6 days a week, 10 hour days.

My insurance sucks, I have no sick time, no retirement, only a couple holidays a year

If labor laws were improved, my life would improve

If labor laws were improved, every union members life would improve

What the fuck are you people fighting for if its not an improvement in labor laws?

Nothing. 7.25/hr with no sick/vacation time or insurance/retirement of any kind isn't exactly winning

So if better labor laws is the goal, and unions are the vehicle, then better labor laws fixes this... I'm not anti union, I'm pro workers rights. All workers. I know its a pipe dream that will never happen, but I stand by my comment. If these workers didn't need to pay dues and strike to get fair compensation due to it being required by law, it would be an improvement.

Better labor laws also lead to better jobs. There's plenty of evidence on that topic. If unions get us there, go unions. So far, they haven't.

I dont know, there are plenty of countries that have solved these issues successfully, and many other US issues as well. I agree no law is perfect, but I'm sure you'd agree there's certainly room for improvement in the current set in the US specifically.

I'm not young, I've spent many years criticizing US labor laws. I think Unions are a bandaid not available to most people.

That said, I hope the Union wins this for the workers of that specific industry, and for everyone else out there... Good fucking luck with your $7/hr and no insurance.

I do appreciate the only response I got without name calling. I didn't think wanting fair labor laws would trigger the side I'm on against me.

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.
