Start at 7 years old in the textile mill

18 hour shifts

Pretty much all of history wouldn't have been to fun to be in, tbh. The beds we have now are better than what Kings had

Labor Unions are pretty cool don't @ me

I agree

We need to fix them

yaaas

They’re getting a bad rep

Labor Unions were necessary

@John O - REEEEE

I SAID DON'T @ ME

@John O - hey cutie.

For the record, I'm non Union

My company is owned by a Mexican parent company. They’re ripping off farmers wages. A union would do wonders

I understand why people hate unions, but what do you do when the rich treat their workers like garbage?

It's simply a check on human greed

The issue is that Unions are pro immigration, which is the opposite of the logical mindset of a Union

Yeah, now we need unions for the unions...

and then a union for them

Public Unions are garbage, private are kind of on basis

I'm anti Corporatist, but I'm also aware that Unions are huge political machines, similar to corporations

Who's running these unions? 👃

Unions have become too big

Absolute power corrupts..

@missliterallywho The mob

So does money

I like Feudalism

Lets go WAY back

@John O - spaghett?

I've found getting people to do the right thing doesn't work when you don't have leverage on them

Yes

*C'mon, don't do that, it's not right* is not a persuasive argument to those that simply don't care

thus the mobs and pitch forks

class division

Which ties it all back to the importance of class mobility

And passing some of those earnings down to the workers

I’d be on the short end of the stick without class mobility

Find balance between the old order and the new @John O -

So we don't end up right where we're currently at

Going back 3 or 4 gens anyhow

Literally everyone in IE would @William Russell
