Reply to comment by bent_peepee in I Called Jared Golden, Susan Collins, and Angus King today to express my support for railroad workers. I hope you call your reps, too! by Stunning_Ambition_16
Can you imagine that both railroad workers and healthcare workers deserve better? Do you think that railroad workers getting a better contract for themselves somehow takes something away from healthcare workers?
The railroad workers get no sick time. None. Sick time is a standard for workers in a lot of the rest of the world.

And you deserve sick time, too, even if you lack the most basic understanding of solidarity.

Unionize...

others in my line of work have and regularly worry about negotiations and strikes. unionization is not panacea. some do very well, for sure, but not all.

Well yeah, as long as all the power lies in corporate with the government backing them, these are worries. Forcing a contract in workers who rejected it will strengthen the worries your friends are feeling.

I agree with this entirely. The only time unions are a draw back is when governments screw them over and let corporations or local governments screw people. A great example of this is public ed. without the right to go on strike it hampers the ability to negotiate!

Then form a Union? Or be a little bitch and move jobs because you're so cucked by your workplace you won't even try and improve your own life, maybe try being less weak and pathetic?
