How Does Your Employer Have Power Over Your Life?

How does your employer have more power over you than you have negotiating with them? Examples (not exhaustive): I depend on them for health insurance I need for my family My landlord likes to be paid rent in money How else can I buy food? I can't get hired on, I've been contract labor for 18 months We have vacation, we're just not allowed to use it My sick days expire, if I don't use them I lose them If I don't use my dental benefits by the end of the year they expire, if my teeth break after they expire I wait until January of the next year They'll lay me off then have the person I trained to do my job replace me for less. They lobby politicians/city councilors
