space
overcrowding / urbanism will cause human downfall
Why? Space doesn't kill people, we can build towers
Every single person in the world can fit in one city without overlap
those people would have mental issues caused by that though
do you really think the overall living human population will just continue to increase indefinitely?
My point is space will last much longer than resources
@everyone Daily Question š
- What is your stance on Labor Unions? Are they good or bad, have they started good but become bad - how would you fix this?
I love what they used to stand for
I just don't like how what workers are graciously given can be exploited.
Labor unions are awesome
Workers organizing their labor prevents their opression
Yeah, I like that
But, so many times i see people exploit every free day they can get
fuck off commie bastard
you can't say they haven't done anything good
Unions gave everyone more rights
But they've gone a little far
Labor Unions used to be a vital and essential tool for the progression of worker's rights and good pay - unfourtnely Labor Unions are now as corrupt as the Corporations they were formed to oppose.
Unions are too easily infiltrated, ESOP are where its at for the employees and owners
What WinCo does
the employee's are also the owners. Gets skin in the game
Gives employees company stock
state run labor union with a workers council that lets both proletarian and bourgeois reach agreements on conditions and pay and allows that workers only be fired for genuine reasons
Other Companies such as In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A are also great example of owners treating employees very *very* well
Ford Motor Company under the founder Henry Ford as well
Even Janitor's and Part-Time employees receive 401k plans, paid sick and vacation leave, dental and medical insurance
Better treated employees are more productive
And will stay with the company for longer
The problem with Unions is that the owners and workers interests are at odds. ESOP solves that problem
The two become one
Sure
I think Labor Unions would be better if it was 100% democratic
i.e no "owner"
Each decision is voted on by all members
Anyways ive gtg
As far as Iām concerned labor unions are a useful balance to the company in order to prevent abuse by employers if it occurs.
I strongly prefer unions with a council and charter over a single leader union however.
That makes sure the *unions* are kept in check by the employees.
