I’m in a union, I make more money than most I have more vacation than most, I have better benefits than most. I also have a nice retirement plan. Almost Every American has the opportunity to join and form a union if they want to. sounds like it works just fine, people are just unwilling to make a change.

Not sure it is quite that simple unfortunately.

It really isn’t that complicated if you have enough people that want to do it, and will stand up for their selves. The problem is most won’t. I’ve been involved in three pretty large organizing campaigns. We only won one. The other two we were pretty confident the vote would go union but apparently all the people who told us they were voting yes decided to vote no or not at all. Getting the first contract is actually more difficult. Companies love to drag their feet.
Ive worked multiple unions jobs and under the market i never got more paid vacation than wat they plan for workers by law in most other western countries.
I agree theres lots of propaganda and distractions that prevents workers from having union votes to begin with. so its partly their fault for not seeing thru it. in addition theres anti union policy.
Says america need better union laws and corporations only run bc of workers

Michael Hudson is fun to read. Some of it you have to read just like fiction because this gentleman has done nothing but sit in The faculty lounge of academia and theorize. It’s like watching Star Wars it’s entertaining, but it’s not real life. If he was a great economist why is he not in charge of anything ever? Instead of making the world a better place with his fool proof economic theory, he’s apparently more worried about getting tenure at a crappy city college? Let that sink in.Michael Hudson

i know UK has major problems with ugly history of neoliberalism and thatcherism and their current problems, but i would definitely give it a go.
i would eventually try and get out of london and move somewhere affordable with a ski hill

No conflict of interest there? He seems reliable, totally not for sale to the highest bidder.
