Expecting corporations, or the major parties in bed with them, to simply give workers better conditions? Yes, fanciful.
That’s why we need robust worker unions that use these opportunities to demand better.

@bignose @zero_gravitas can you remember who gave us those better working conditions in the first place, and is busy doing so again?

Better working conditions were never given; if you can find a counter example I’d love to know it.
Better working conditions only ever come because workers organise, demand, and fight for them to be entrenched in law.

@bignose And Labor put that into law. It's why howard was never able to undo it all, though he tried his hardest.
