Document Summary
Fundamental rights: meet in groups, collective bargaining. Strength in number is key so that we can argue for what we need and actually convince employers to give us our rights. It covers everything from wages, to bene ts, and working conditions. Bargaining: when you go from person to person it sucks, you need broader based bargaining, which sets standards for the whole sector. Strikes: don"t happen often, scabs are replacement workers that are hired during a strike, so that they can work instead of the people who are striking. It"s not forced union membership, its just not leaching off of the work of others. 1945-1970 was the age of capitalism, everyone had money after 1970 everything went down: inequality went up, and wages went down: neoliberalism came in, oecd: comes in then says that workers should be more exible. Right to work: you should have the right no to pay union dues.
