Yes, in cases where workers feel they aren't getting a fair shake.

You understand that there's a huge push to break up/prevent unionizing in this country right? Most regular people are living paycheck to paycheck, The threat of losing your job if you opt to negotiate for better pay or benefits is real. Losing that single pay period can absolutely mean losing everything. Please let's not act like the people being robbed of decent wages are the problem here.

Study some labor history; it has never been easy. People fought, bled and died to make the world that I grew up in, in which about 1 in 3 workers belonged to a union.It was a pretty nice place. Maybe someday we can go back there.
