Assuming you didn't drop your /s care to elaborate, or you just gonna leave that and walk away?
Unions are responsible for:
-You not dying when you go to work (OHS laws).
-The eight hour work day.
-Weekends.
-Equal pay for women.
-The ability for women to work.
-Minimum wage.
-Sick leave.
I bet you think you are smart enough or have skills in demand enough that you could have negotiated all those by yourself.
You’re wrong. You wouldn’t have been able to individually negotiate shit compared to the actual weekend.
You’re at best just ignorant of everything you have to be grateful for from the unionists that died to make your working life just that little less sucky or at worst you’re aware and just want your fellow worker to suffer. Either way, shame on you.
Bro took the words out of my mouth.
You're a fucking idiot
