I suspect those dollar amounts would not be effective anymore..

In some places, belonging to a union gives members the capacity to partner with good business owners, meaning to help good business owners, rather than acting like slavish employees. More of this kind of union-ing would "infect" the culture at large with fresh and helpful attitudes, imho.

That’s nowhere near enough for many currently represented employees in Portland, OR Represented home health workers are paid less than $25/hr in a region where data indicates an adult w one child requires $53/hr for a livable wage. The $3.40/hr ($7K/yr) raise suggested doesn’t do it. Come on.

UNION STRONG 💪!!

Why can't we have the economic system of workers that would prioritize the living conditions of working people instead of shareholder value 🤔

it doesn’t hurt to have both. even when you have good legal protection, it still sucks to try to sue for violations on your own. when you can have a union that helps you with your case, you have a lot more power behind you
