Been reading this sub for a while now and i find it un fucking believable. Firstly i am from Australia and not bragging or rubbing it in but our workforce here have 4 weeks annual leave and 10 paid sick days per year plus public holidays. I am a 50 yr old man raising 2 children on my own, both under 15 and even my Goverment pay me extra as my wage is not enough to raise 2 children. I earn over 70k annually from work alone. Your country ever since i was a child was known as the lucky country. A place portrayed on tv where all families have big cars and bigger houses. And even today a patriotic American will claim the best country in the world, the richest country in the world. What about the people? You are treated like dogs by your bosses, refused to leave your job if you hand your notice in and expected to give up your free time. I find it appalling. You have a chequered history with slavery yet in my mind, no matter what race i think nothing has changed within the workforce. The hourly rate , some which could only be $2 per hour and the fear of becoming sick or ending up in hospital with an out of this world bill is just so stressful. Believe it or not you are all a lot stronger than you think to put up with this crap and i applaud you all as i think , actually i know i would'nt handle it. So i just wanted to say Good on ya all for starting to stand up for yourself and hope in the future you all get treated and paid as you deserve. Rant over.
