Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

The point is, if it's an otherwise good job, and you don't want to have uproot and move your family to a different state again. If you want stability in your and your family's life. Maybe it doesn't make sense to individually attempt to bargain for yourself.
Maybe you bargain collectively with your coworkers, and get better conditions for EVERYBODY. And then you don't have to move again and force you children to meet new friends. Again.
It bums me out when I see people like you who would be a force of good in a union, then it turns out that they're 100% just in it for them (not even their family).
