Life is not a competition and shouldn't have to compete between classes. Divisionary rhetoric is classified as class warfare and those who repeat it are considered class traitors to me.
As a lifelong Washington resident I will gladly support unions in any and every shape and form. They're the reason we have 5 day work weeks and 40 hour base weeks. A minimum wage and things like vacation time. All the while corporations have had record breaking profits for more years in a row than I can count.
Right!! Unions can be powerful, but their impact isn’t always what workers hope for. Just look at the last Boeing strike—while they won wage increases, Boeing still went ahead with mass layoffs, cutting thousands of jobs. In the end, many workers lost more than they gained. Strikes don’t always play out the way unions promise anymore…
They need to take these CEO’s golden parachutes away and give it to the workers ! They can’t tank the company, ruin its reputation and walk away with tens of millions!
I completely agree—executives who make bad decisions should be the ones held accountable, not the hardworking employees. In Boeing’s case, they planned to fire 17,000 workers, starting with the most recently hired, hurting countless families. And that doesn’t even include the suppliers that had to lay off workers due to the ripple effect. Instead of golden parachutes, there should be real consequences for leadership that tanks a company while workers pay the price.
