A few comments on unions and work

Hi sub, I wanted to talk a bit about unions, work, and new companies, mostly because I see this sub as the, perhaps, new begging of work and companies as we know them. I hope I'm not wrong. I'm from Argentina, a country where, if you are not from here, you might not know the reality of unions (here these are called syndicates). These syndicates were, in the beginning, looking for the rights of the workers, things that they really needed, like paid vacations, good conditions of work, etc. This process was the beginning of a new political party, the Peronism.

Hi sub,

I wanted to talk a bit about unions, work, and new companies, mostly because I see this sub as the, perhaps, new begging of work and companies as we know them. I hope I'm not wrong.

I'm from Argentina, a country where, if you are not from here, you might not know the reality of unions (here these are called syndicates). These syndicates were, in the beginning, looking for the rights of the workers, things that they really needed, like paid vacations, good conditions of work, etc. This process was the beginning of a new political party, the Peronism. Time passed, and these syndicates got more and more power, to the point where it began to really make impossible the generation of new work, investments, etc due to all the obstacles generated to the creation of new companies (all this along really bad economic policies that really made impossible the private developing).

I am saying this so you do not make the same mistakes. Ask and fight for rights, but do not go so far that it becomes a way to not work anymore. Do not kill the incentive to open new businesses, since these are the way of changing for good the several industries that make up the whole world. Look around. Everything that you all have is made thanks to a private, not the government. Change these ones, and you change the whole thing for the best.

Last, but not least. Please, take this advice. I'm talking from a place where we need a miracle to change our reality. Look at our numbers, and you will know what I'm talking about.

Thanks and I hope we can all have a good and respectful discussion.
