Comment on Epstein puts my morality into perspective
Auth@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoUnionization is great but thats a much bigger ask and far less likely to suceed. And risker as the employee can be fired with no protection as soon as they’re found trying to unionize.
I think employees should be trying to unionize as a default and then if they’re the victim of wage theft seek legal recourse.

I can agree with the second part 100%
The first though, the same lack of employee protections against forming a union are the same that will get you canned for bringing a lawsuit.

Being fired for forming a union is a completely different case than committing wage theft then firing your employee for bringing it up.

The end result for the employee is the same. Very likely you and I, and statistically, 99% of the people potentially reading this.

Its not though. The employee is far more likely to win the wage theft case than the union firing case and I just think its wrong to try and dissuade people from fighting this issue. Its actively harmful to people to push that kind of a narrative.
