We are just finding out about a child sex trafficking ring involving politicians and billionaires, the world’s richest man does a Nazi salute at a political rally, and the President being an adjudicated sex criminal is probably not the worst thing he has done…
Meanwhile I’m standing here in the checkout line feeling guilty about whether or not I should tip a barista
Something is wrong with our collective notion of morality, and my individual understanding (Oh well, here we are)
I can agree with the second part 100%
The first though, the same lack of employee protections against forming a union are the same that will get you canned for bringing a lawsuit.
Being fired for forming a union is a completely different case than committing wage theft then firing your employee for bringing it up.
The end result for the employee is the same. Very likely you and I, and statistically, 99% of the people potentially reading this.
Its not though. The employee is far more likely to win the wage theft case than the union firing case and I just think its wrong to try and dissuade people from fighting this issue. Its actively harmful to people to push that kind of a narrative.
I’m not dissuading anyone. Just laying our real world consequences for doing so. I’ve personally seen very little success with wage theft, the most common form of theft by the longest shot ever, compared with seeing companies unionize like once a month minimum. It helps more people and you’re not just risking it by yourself.
People doing both would be great, but let’s not pretend either will be just peachy.
