…replacing fair work for fair pay…

Is it fair pay though? Ofc nobody wants a tyrant. but we should have unions fighting for the rights of workers in all spaces, shouldn’t we? Just a thought. (Assuming they’re not employer-controlled ofc)

Even in a right to work for less state, it’s easier to negotiate with employers for fair pay than it is to do so in a communist society. Communist societies may generally be more equal, but they’re equal at a far lower level of income, and in reality it just means trapping everyone at the subsistence level of work drudgery instead of offering many a way to gain greater affluence.

You don’t need to be a communist society to have unions tho. Negotiating with a tyrant owned business like Amazon is still very hard.

Yes, that’s my point. In fact, real unions die under communism and come to represent the party rather than the workers.
