My last job was unionized. Great, right?
The union guaranteed pay raises for hours worked, and benefits for all employees over (I believe) 20 hours per week.
Guess what the company does?
Hire shit tons of people so they can spread out hours as much as possible to minimize benefits and slow down raises. Who gets at least 20 hrs? Ahahahaha almost nobody.
There is clearly room to renegotiate there, but my point is that unions didn't defeat brutal exploitation of workers. They just forced the company to find loopholes.
We need to hold dipshit companies like this (Empire Company Ltd) accountable and overthrow this insanity. When unions don't work, we need to do more.
