minus-squareSCB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-211 months ago We can absolutely live the life with same income, but without the grind. For that, we have to unionize and fight off hustle culture. This has nothing to do with min wage tho. There are zero unionized workplaces that pay minimum wage. I’m all for tying min wage to localized cost of living, and I’m extremely pro-union, but if the latter succeeds we just won’t really need the former.
minus-squareSanyanov@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoWe always need unions to have a watch om ways we can be exploited, preventing that behavior. Having good policies respecting workers is, essentially, an endgame for every struggle for worker’s rights. And yes, it is best to have laws cementing those achievements.
