No one deserves a union. Unions aren't a good thing.

Do you like weekends? Thank unions. Do you like sick pay? Thank unions. Do you like overtime pay? Thank unions.

Unions make your job better even if you're not in one by fighting for your rights as much as theirs. They want your pay to be as good as their pay.

Do you like dead beat workers bringing down your earning potential? - Thank unions! DO you like having your employer not able to provide suitable work for you when injured? -Thank unions! Do you like someone forcing you to fork over a portion of your taxable income? - Thank unions! Do you like people abusing 'sick time'? - Thank unions!

Yes, blame your co-workers for everything. It must be their faults. They're all "deadbeats" and "abusers."

Also, your job is supposed to provide for you when you're injured.

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago

No, that's called mooching. Freeloader.

And they would have if the Union didn't interfere with their job codes bullshit.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Sure they would have. And worked 10 hour days 7 days a week with no overtime or safety protections or health insurance.
