    I work 6 days a week, 10 hour days.

    My insurance sucks, I have no sick time, no retirement, only a couple holidays a year

    If labor laws were improved, my life would improve

    If labor laws were improved, every union members life would improve

    What the fuck are you people fighting for if its not an improvement in labor laws?

      They are but those labour laws are brought up BECAUSE OF UNIONS. You do not get favourable labour laws without unions pushing for them.

      You have it shitty right now because American corporations buy legislation. Unions are the best defence against that.

      Unions are necessary for labour laws that benefit the workers. Why is this so hard for you to understand? Nobody is going to pass legislation making your labour more profitable for you unless there is an entity that holds some power (unions) holding them accountable to do so.

      Again, stop trying to change minds here. You are naive and ignorant to this subject.

        So if I had said:

        (Improved) labor laws (obtained through the means of a union) fixes this

        Would we be high fiving right now? You must be one of those union guys that stands around and does nothing cause you paid your dues and are untouchable. You dont want workers rights, you want a free ride
