Thank the unions
I will shortly leave for work as a classroom teacher.
I have protection from arbitrary firing - because I am in a union
I am not forced into downward competition for compensation - because I am in a union
I have paid holidays and paid leave - because I am in a union
I still have a defined benefit pension - because I am in a union
If you have any of those things, or any of these
- 8 hours or less work per day
- workplace safety rules
- 5 day work week
- paid overtime or compensatory time off
or any of many other things,
thank the unions
