Why bargain with the union if the government will just step in when it gets rough? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* that makes no sense. Taking some risk out of striking makes it harder to dismiss the threat of a strike which increases the incentive businesses have to improve contracts. Its clear that the profits these businesses are making aren't getting back to workers so more threats from unions makes the economy more stable. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Uranium3006@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago* What do you mean? permalink fedilink source parent
