If a person doesn't like the wages or conditions they should quit and find another way to support themselves. I've done it several times and only bettered myself.
They benefitted me back in the 50's. My husband worked for Beth Steel and we were 15 (me) and he 21. How lucky we were to be making $125/week and had Blue Cross & Blue Shield (nicknamed the Steel Plan).
Don't laugh folks, but we were really doing well!!

Oh, co-incidentally, Bethlehem Steel is GONE. The acres and acres of buildings and stacks have been torn down and the land is ready for PROGRESS!! lmao... what that means, I have no idea.
I can't agree with this. If I want to contract to be paid 4 dollars an hour, I should have the right. If someone offers me 4 dollars an hour and I don't want to take it, I go somewhere else. I grew up in a union town and everyone I knew in the union felt like they were being controlled by the mafia....

I wish I had had the foresight to see where living high on the hog was going to get us.
