unions are just another bureaucracy that steals your money for the privilege of telling you when you're not allowed to work. If you need a union, it's because you work in a saturated workforce where the actual value of your labor has dwindled below what you find acceptable, and you should find a different profession.
This is a perfect distillation of the problem. A bunch of spineless fuckwits whose labor isn't actually worth much who can't be bothered to stand up for themselves and need others to do it on their behalf.
Sucks to suck. Git gud.
Unions are for losers.
to be fair, in a world of monopolization it is hard to get fair employment terms. I do think the unions were necessary once upon a time, but they are extremely antiquated.
Not if you're actually a skilled worker no. If you're a seat filler, you betcha they won't treat you well. Your value as a worker is directly commensurate with how difficult it is to replace you.
Nobody is hard to replace, new replacements are coming by the thousands every day.
I disagree. In a monopolized environment, cronyism and cozying to the right people is what gets you ahead. your actual skill or productivity is irrelevant.
A company has to be worried about losing you to their competitors in order to give a shit about your productivity. if they know they are the only one that you can work for, there's no incentive for them to treat you well.
We have no leverage, there's nothing we can do legally and white men are inherently disadvantaged in america.
This is defeatism. Your leverage is your superior skills and the employer's need for competent employees.
All jobs pay below what I find acceptable for the work, I shouldn't have to risk my life just to live in a shitty neighborhood where I'll eventually be robbed and killed without having ever reproduced.
Funny troll account, at least this time your content makes me laugh a bit
I refer to my original post. the jobs you are looking for require a skill set that is common, and therefore has low economic value because the supply outweighs the demand.
you should be looking for jobs that employ the skills that you have that few others do. if you don't have any, develop some. if you aren't willing to do either of these things, enjoy your shitty job with shitty pay.
