Imagine trying to start a union today
Re: Imagine trying to start a union today
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

And living in "poverty" in the USA or Canada is better than "middle class" in most of the rest of the world.Bryce wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 1:21 pmThat a modest way of life today is considerably better than very wealthy people lived not all that long ago.

Re: Imagine trying to start a union today
But getting back to the OP. There really shouldn't be a problem starting a union today. There are PLENTY of folks who pay lots of other folks for services they really should be able to perform by themselves. And LOTS of companies pay third parties to handle all kinds of functions they could really handle internally (and probably cheaper and better).
So why would it be so hard? If companies abdicate the functions of "taking care" of employees, and there are enough employees who'd want to hire a third party to manage the negotiations, when why would it be such a big deal to get one started?

I'm not trying to denigrate a lifestyle of modest comfort. I'm very content living the way we live. I wouldn't trade it for the life of a modern-day King.
Especially when it's January and we're enjoying life here in Florida.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

How was the trip?
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

The vaccines prevent most hospitalizations and prevent deaths in 99% of those who are vaccinated.

The Chicago Teachers Union, the third-largest school district in the nation, defied the city's order for school children to return to in-person learning this week, earning them a new round of bipartisan scorn from those who argue remote learning has done far more harm than good throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

New study out now says those more exposed to the common cold have Covid protection via T-cells.
This makes sense. Mature Chicken's don't generally catch the Marek's virus because their immune system is more developed to natural viruses in the environment.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
