Public education in the US did a good job of de-emphasizing the importance of unions through history class.

Union worker here. Existing trade unions are pretty iffy. Mine has an apprenticeship program where our training material explicitly said that the 'regressive politics of workers versus management is over'.

Grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy!

[glitchedoom]

I've been trapped in a dimension inhabited by eyeballs for all eternity, may as well watch this video to pass the time.

Lord Oculon (The All-Seeing One) sends his most terrifying regards.

Lord Oculon brought us all here in his mini van. Very interesting video.

Land lords should quit their "jobs"
Property hoarding isn't a job
Rent is extortion
Homelessness is violence
No one gets a second house until everyone has one

My eyes were removed from my skull and placed here. On this small leftist project. Covered in slime.

You're telling me that $7.25 minimum wage has been around since 1912? Whew

Looking to start a jewelers' union, thanks for the info

[overworkedcna]

Psst. Hey you. Yeah, you. The secret password is... _eyeballs._

[Nikoline_The_Great]

Whenever I see a video like this i realize how good I have it. Denmark (where I live) has a union density of roughly 76%.

[redbread]

What up fam? Thought Slime sent me. Keep up the great work.

[officially]

I'm really glad Thought Slime brought me here. This was really interesting and of very high quality for such a small channel. I hope you keep up the good work!

I heard about youtubers unionizing, but heard nothing afterwards.

I grew up in Michigan's just out side of Detroit. Unions were always a big part of my childhood and explained to me that they were very important for the laborers. The told me in school that the keep you safe and give u better hours and better pay my mom worked in a factory for GM. We move to FL when I was a teen. Man they are afraid of unions hear! They swich scripts in school told me it was like a gang and that all they did was take your monny... I knew better though. I watched how a union job changed my moms life she was only working 50 hour a week and got payed for all of that time. Whe she was the manager of Macy's lady's clothing. She worked 80 hours and only got payed for 40 hours. And when we move to the south my mom had to have 2 jobs to keep us afloat. BTW the same thing hapend whith the civil war I got both sides.
