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?

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

And how did they solve them? By changing the labor laws right?

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

The current labor laws aren't good enough, as evidenced by union activity. If suggesting more generous labor laws is such a trigger for you all, what is it you're fighting for? Better jobs for me but not thee?

Cute selfie BTW

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.
