Interrupting the pile on to say how the fuck is the house passing decriminalization of marijuana not a bigger deal? Needs to be hammered that only three republicans voted yes as well.
Its funny because the person who relayed those experiences is a lifelong friend who is almost assuredly in a lower economic class than just about anybody who posts on this board.*chefs kiss*

People game systems. I am sure i would in the same circumstances.
Who typically gains the most from gaming the system?
Certainly the uber wealthy. But that doesn't mean much to some ordinary worker just trying to get his job done to go home being at the crosshairs of a bunch of other people trying to game the system.
And alot of companies brought this stuff on themselves with the way they treated workers. I get that.
The worker is in the crosshairs of the bosses, not his fellow workers trying to organize for better working conditions.
Class analysis is hard
Societies across space and time consistently attempt to establish a permanent underclass to keep a small group rich and a larger group comfortable. The analysis is pretty straightforward once you understand that.
I've been actively fighting for a union with other Pitt graduate students for more than 3 and a half years - happy to address any specific questions but it looks like this convo went south
Have you considered that your union might make you lazy and a bad worker and make Pitt close down their grad programs.
And what's your long-term fingernail fashion plan?
Discussion of unions always seems to ignore that workers are often being taken advantage of and just devolve into the discussion of the abuses by union members that wind up costing companies millions of dollars. Unions spend an inordinate amount of time advocating for the most lazy intentionally incompetent employees, who straight up deserve to be fired. If unions told these abusers to fuck off because they've violated their obligation to provide quality work product they'd regain public trust.
Also, unions are a mafia conduit.
