Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?

for some reason, people working in healthcare don’t stand up for their rights, and rather accept a very shitty pay. it’s … because they do it “for the people who need help” without looking at economic issues (especially their own) at all.

In our society, if you don’t have a job, you die. A shit job is better than no job and standing up for your rights could lose you your job. The solution is unionizing, but unionizing is very difficult and dangerous because 1. Unions have been heavily propaganized against and 2. Bosses will do a bunch of illegal stuff to prevent unions.
Unions are becoming more popular as conditions worsen, but the capitalist owners are fighting harder than ever to prevent the growing unionization.
