    That’s not compromising, it’s groveling at their feet begging them to give you the slightest bit of respect, a tiny little crumb of the ever growing profits.

      What an outrageous take. I am making an exchange that makes me happier. I get something; they get something. Otherwise I sit and wait and fume and get nothing.

      I can want one thing and accept that my current reality won’t provide it to me without being an enemy of the cause. I’m genuinely shocked that such a hardline, absolutist mindset is the prevalent one in this community.

        Unless you’re one of the very few people who’s pay has been even close to keeping up with inflation, they’ve already taken more from you, and you haven’t gotten shot in return. Don’t give up more for no reason just in the name of “compromise”. The bare minimum is wage increases and better work life balance

          I know what a union is. Unless you’re about start one, recruit people, and bargain collectively with your employer, I suggest you start somewhere more realistic.

            All im hearing is excuses as to why you won’t. You can admit you’re too lazy to, it’s ok

              It’s true, between my full-time job and home improvement projects, I would not be able found and run a union. I don’t think anyone who knows me would describe me as ‘lazy.’

              You sound like a hormonal teenager. I hope for your sake that you actually are.

                Simply more excuses, and now name calling. That’s OK though, just don’t act like you don’t know why the average worker is getting railed.

                    Sorry that im not so terminally online that I missed a reply.

                    Hard to start a union when you’re already a part of one. You can fuck off now

                  So, what union are you the president of? You must be one, since you’re so wholeheartedly invested in them.
