    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.

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

          Pray tell, when did the big old dick of American legislature start to turn against unions? Oh about the time 7.25 was legislated to be the minimum wage.

          Read. Educate yourself.

          You believe the propaganda that they feed you. Stop being ignorant.

              You’re not fucking listening dude. I tried being nice and explaining it to you but you just double down on “wE NeEd MoRe LaBouR lAwS” as if that isn’t fucking obvious.

              That will never happen without unions. Whether or not you want to admit it, you NEED unions.

              If you can’t accept that then fuck off and don’t bother responding anymore.

                So you agree! Thank you, it is obvious we need better labor laws. I thought we were going to continue to butt heads for a little bit. Glad you came around. See, I’m listening.
