Unions and strikes only work for people with skills(trade skills, engineers, doctors). Unskilled labor is too vast a resource.

Good luck with that. Maybe you can post from the unemployment line and let us how it worked out.

I do not like Unite. They do more playing politics than actually helping workers.

This is a nightmare.... Higher wages = More "money" = everything is inflated = want more higher wages to keep up.

Many companies of any kind push the boundaries of legality with low rank employees, Mcdonalds and telecoms are among the top here in Brasil

Yeah who cares if they get fired because demanding for better wages and the right to form unions, this is so over the top right?

Have you applied to be a janitor or sanitation worker recently? What, you're starving, but you're still too good for that?
ThatRaccoonGuy
Oh you have no idea. If there was an opening for a janitor anywhere near me I'd be on it like flies on shit. I actually enjoy that job.
