Lol … those benefits aren’t gifts that were freely given.
People had to fight, get beaten, lose money, lose houses, lose property and years ago even get killed to even establish those benefits and normalize them today.
I have old elderly friends who took part in union movements in the 40s and 50s, many of whom complained of getting beaten and threatened and a few recalling friends and relatives murdered for organizing successful strike action.
If we had left it to corporations and wealthy elites to give these benefits freely, they would withhold everything and prefer that slavery were reintroduced than to give up anything.
Those aren’t gifts … those are hard fought rights that people literally died for.
Yes. Sweden is currently a perfect example of how to unionize. I actually just found out that ubionsnin the US can’t strike in solidarity (is this what you mean by unilaterally)?
