    My whole day has been listening to Indian coworkers shit on unions. They really hate them.

    I think the next decade will see even more erosion of trust within public opinion towards unions.

      Unfortunately it’s not just Indians. Lots of people in the private sector are convinced unions are bad because of the way they protect bad cops and bad unionized tradesmen. People really are getting stupider and more selfish by the day.

        Well you’re apparently just a big cry baby.

        The conversations I overhear at work are brutal towards unions and personal rights. With the way immigration is going I think conservatives are going to get a huge advantage in the next decade.

          I’ll cry all the way to the bank and doctor, what with my retroactive pay raise, my pretty awesome health insurance, and my liberal time off. We even got hazard pay during the early pandemic (if we were in a position where we had to see people in person).

          My union (AFSCME) bargains alongside the state cops. You might say it’s a union of unions. ACAB, but they get good benefits and never have a pay reduction. You can’t say that about most librarians.

          Edit: oops, just noticed which community I’m in. I’m in the USA and I’m not happy about our politics. Sorry to be an ugly American and assume that if your coworkers were anti-union you must be USAian.
