A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

My conservative civics teacher once said that all unions, with the exception of Teacher Unions were obsolete. I wonder how he's feeling right now.

"All unions are bad except my union" is the much more consistent application of inherently hypocritical conservative values, compared to what they can say to a broad audience through right wing media. Hilarious.

A more concise and universal description of conservative values is: "Fuck you, got mine."

This guy was such a bootlicker, I'm surprised he didn't also exempt Police Unions.

Anyone that doesn't like unions is very stupid, or very rich.

Rich people also like trade unions, just not if it's also the poor doing it.

Business cartels are the oligarchs' equivalent - lobbying for corruption.

Poor and stupid or rich and stupid.

Unions are the new solution to an old problem. The previous solution was dragging the boss out of his house in the middle of the night.
