    Believe it or not, there are jobs out there that do work that way. It’s generally not in public corporations.

    That’s why I also said failing that we do need unions.

      he’s not saying there aren’t any companies that do right to their employees at this current moment. he’s saying if left unchecked, it leaves room for somebody to come in and make it bad for everyone. that being said, we’ve already failed. we need union.

        So is that significantly different for me saying it would be nice if we could do that but that feeling we need unions?

          It’s different because you seem to be saying “workers should be able to be incredibly vulnerable to the whims of employers because employers should be good people”. The other guy’s response to that is “why would we ever assume employers are going to be good to their employees absent any mechanism to enforce said good behavior?”
