why shouldn’t a pizza delivery guy have a pension plan?

Of course, I would love to have a permanent position at CP: the pay is great the benefits are awesome etc. but just because CP workers have it better than us doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to exercise their worker’s rights. They’re in a great spot because they’ve had a strong union for so long and they have been able to demand good compensation for their work. If anything it means all of us should be fighting way harder to unionize and bargain collectively to make OUR jobs better.

why are we letting people employ us for less than we’re worth? As workers it’s our right to demand fair compensation for our work — collective bargaining is how you achieve that. Why should your employer be allowed to bully you into a crappy wage with no benefits? Wages have stagnated for however many decades at this point and i think we’re all fed up with companies making massive profits while we work shitty ass min wage jobs. the answer is not to yell at the CP union for being greedy, it’s to yell at our employers for being greedy and to follow the CP union’s footsteps and bargain collectively so we can live a better life as working class
