• Still work for more than 40 hours a week; No 2 days off
• Be children from ages 5 to 12 years old doing manual labour
• Still be suffering from a hazardous workplace with no safety rules
• Have lower salary wage with zero work benefits
• Comply to abusive management
• Have less remote opportunities
• Have to work overtime with no additional pay
The things I mentioned above are both what 20th and 21st century Unions have contributed in our community. Without our ancestors unionizing, we would still be suffering from awful working conditions.
So enough with “Workers are lazy and complain every little thing” when without the past Unions, we wouldn't have better working conditions today. So let us not make the younger generation suffer. Let us be inspired by the older generation of unions have stood out against an abusive working culture so us present-day workers wouldn't suffer like them.
