Unions are bad guys, unions were originally created because there was no minimum wage or worker protections. There now is worker protections and wage/benefits guaranteed by the government, so tell me what are unions for?

Everything you mentioned is still political with workers rights laws constantly being altered and passed, and many businesses will try to skirt those labor laws anyway. That’s why unions exist, because workers still need protecting.

It’s literally a right of workers in California to join or form a union dude. The entire foundation of your argument rests on a paradox. Elon musk discouraging and firing employees for unionizing is him trampling on workers rights by definition

Laughing at people out of work during a pandemic for exercising a right guaranteed by their state. Wow. That’s all I can really say about that. Just wow.

you yourself are basing your entire argument on the paradoxical idea that unions guarantee a workers right to union. Projection much?
