    My father feels that it is injust to say that because

    1. They hired you
    2. You need the job
    3. How would they (the company) make any money if they gave the workers whatever wage they wanted

    his response to people asking for better wages actively and talking about their value being stolen is ‘why did you look/choose this job’

    his idea of an union is essentially a single legal union, which can only strike when in agreement with the company (???)

    and he is a landlord and was the factory manager, and would likely think differently if he didn’t get the benefit of rent money from both the apartments and a shop downtown
