  1.  @Jason-kg3oc  Thank you for clarifying.

  2. Union shop should be default, not a vote. Companies have too much of a pull on people, especially new hires with illegal anti-union propaganda. All companies should have unions by default.

  4. @thatwildginger5423  It was a question tied to the unknown. One share one vote is how companies work. That's the only other one I knew besides one person one vote. As far as district, precinct goes, isn't that what the us and Canada uses for its democratic system (its still one person, one vote, just in 435 geographical districts for the us).

  6. ​@dave_riots In some states, 14 is the minimum age for fast food and other deemed non-dangerous work.

  7. Curious, how do they do voting now? Do workers buy shares in a union and vote as many shares as they have?

  8. ​ @dao8805  Background as I didn't know this (from Wikipedia): In September 2022, U.S. Senators Richard Burr and Roger Wicker introduced a bill that would have required labor unions to agree to the terms proposed by the Presidential Emergency Board, to prevent a strike.[18] It was blocked by Senator Bernie Sanders, who noted that freight rail workers receive a "grand total of zero sick days" while railroad companies made significant profits.[19] In the House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "We’d rather see negotiations prevail so there’s no need for any actions from Congress."[16] In late November, after some unions had rejected the agreement, Biden asked Congress to pass the agreement into law. On November 30, the House of Representatives passed the existing tentative agreement along with an amended version that would require railroad employers to ensure 7 days paid sick leave.[20] On December 1, the Senate passed the tentative agreement with only 1 day of sick leave.[21] President Joe Biden signed the legislation into law on December 2.[4] Writing for Jacobin, Barry Eidlin, associate professor of sociology at McGill University, said the message sent to the rail workers by the president and Congress was "shut up and get back to work."[22] The Biden administration's intervention in the dispute was condemned by over 500 labor historians in an open letter to Joe Biden and Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh.[23]
