Reminds me of my workplace. We all work for minimum wage because our employer, a multimillionaire, deserves more money. We work for free for a few hours a week each for just the same reason. We're not allowed to join a union, because that's just not fair on him. He works hard for that money, by not doing anything. At all.
Our wages are paid through public funding, but the employer steals the public funding which he guarantees is for our wages, but he then banks, and lies to the funding agencies.
If we join a union, he'll have to shut the business down because it'd cost him too much to run, even though my wages are paid for by the taxpayer. He wouldn't be able to steal my wages, and that's just not fair.
So yeah, unions, horrible things. Never did an honest thing ever.
In the eyes of cunts like you, anyway.
