    I’m a printer and I have better pay, benefits and more vacation and sick days than I would in a union shop. There would be zero benefit to me and my coworkers if we unionized.

    Decent employers exist but they are definitely the exception.

      You probably don’t work for a large company who has a duty to their shareholders. Large companies tend to save any penny they can because it scales up across the company. The workers at the bottom have no way to communicate with their employers too.

      Small business has a shorter hierarchy, where you can go talk to the head of the company. They’re usually private companies that don’t have public shareholders.

      Talk about completely missing the fucking point Holy shit, and this is why we don’t have unions. They need a collective to work properly and have an effect on the industry you disciding its bad because there isn’t enough backing is the exact problem that causes there to be few decent employers for fucks sake…grow the union and watch its power to work for you grow.
