[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 988429, member: 22880"] If you can come up with a better evaluation of the options faced by Express wage employees, go ahead and post it. You stated it yourself, your sister has a career that gets her $65k/yr, you get what, maybe $42k/yr with OT (both excluding the value of benefits)? What is the real value of what you do for Express? I don't know what else one would call it, when they are working for an employer and only getting compensated at roughly 2/3rds what they should be... I think being "bentover" by your employer sums up the situation rather well - afterall, you're getting screwed, its not to your liking, and I don't think you are giving advance "consent" to the screwing... Leave, organize or bendover. Those were the options available to Express employees. Now the organize option has been effectively eliminated. As far as the prison analogy (you started it, I'll continue its use...), inmates tend to form "gangs" for self protection, to prevent from being taken to the showers as individuals by those more powerful than them. What can the "inmates" of Express do to prevent themselves from being taken to the showers as individuals by those who are more powerful than them??? Unions may not be gangs, but they do serve to protect those who don't have power as individuals, from those who do have power. [/QUOTE]
