'But since governments make it illegal to fire a striking worker it's a commie construct '

Whoosh.

Worker Exploitation is a thing, just so that's clear. While we have a bevy of employment options available to us today, nearly everyone was an unskilled laborer when this all came to a head years ago.

Learn some history and tell me the collective thoughts behind unions aren't literal, human-based consensus mechanisms enacted to induce change within the system in question. Does that not sound familiar? 🙄

Communists back in the day would've just shot you in the head and let your body fall into an open pit as recompense for your outburst and/or criticism.
