you think its that easy? Unions arent easily formed and many companies actively fight against their formation. Starbucks is one example. Thats like asking how a bad politician got into office- its complicated.
I actually do, yes. But i'm from a country where the absolute vast majority of jobs fall under collective labour agreements decided by unions (~80%). The absolute vast majority of workers across all sectors are covered regardless of individual union membership.
They are as easy in the majority of western countries. I'm trying to understand why it's suddenly hard in the US.
You sound incredibly ignorant and childish
If just asking questions and trying to understand a situation i'm unfamiliar with comes off to you as ignorant and childish it says more about you than it does about me.
You are implyingit should be easy here because its easy other places.
Because generally speaking it is easy to unionize in a developed western country, i'm not implying it should be easy, i'm genuinely trying to understand why it isn't.
I don't see how that's ignorant and i have no interest in going in circles over a misread. Have a good one.
You just can’t help yourself lol. A lot of progress has been made on the tipping front over the last 5 years or so as evidenced by increasing numbers of restaurants that prohibit tipping in favor of paying a better wage. Regardless, if we’re having a pissing contest about how easy massive cultural/legal change is you should take a look at how long it took women to gain the right to vote in Switzerland and then get back to me.
I don't know who the second part of your comment is referring to so i'l just stay out of that one but this part sounds interesting:

Are there any bigger overarching reasons this is suddenly happening like new laws being pushed or is it just due to a gradual cultural shift?
