Every day workers are entitled to inalienable rights which are defended and protected in the first place by labor unions

So let's find out some more about these often controversial associations

Number One

Number One Unions and unionists were outlawed until the late 19th century labor unions have existed for centuries

But only became illegally accepted in the 1800s before then anyone trying to unionize to get better working conditions could easily be sent to jail as the saying goes there's strength in numbers and employers were terrified by that

It took almost 150 years before unions were made legal but nowadays some would rather they were still banned which brings us to

Number Two

Number Two Amazon would prefer unions to still be outlawed amazon is doing its best to give their workers who want to join a union a hard time in alabama employees are trying to create what would be the first amazon labor union in the US

The firm has responded with strong anti union propaganda jeff bezos apparently scolded his executives in his farewell letter reminding them that a company is nothing without its workers

Given that bezos is leaving the company though it kind of feels a bit like passing the buck

Number Three

Number Three Anna wintour's house was picketed about 100 people from conde nast publications protested in front of anna wintour's house in new york at the cry of bosses

Where prada workers get nada protesters chose wintora as a symbol of their two year long contract negotiations with conde nast

No, you're not the only ones to think it's a bit of a tantrum high figures like roger federer and rafael nadal chose not to support the ptpa also women aren't that represented

Number Five

Number Five Right to unionize versus right to private property the US supreme court ruled in favor of a californian packing company reversing a decades old state regulation that allowed unions to access farm property in order to organize workers

As long as they gave the company a heads up and visited during non working hours the us supreme court ruled in favor of farmers

Saying it was a violation of their constitutional rights private property is private property growers argue that with today's technology farm workers can be reached by digital

Means the workers union disagrees saying that these people are far less likely to have access to the internet and have a smartphone let alone be using it

Number Six

Number Six Facebook from best place to nightmare even the most innovative companies are seeing a rise in union activity

Facebook went from being one of the best places to work to a downright nightmare for anyone trying to improve the workers conditions

Subcontracted cafeteria workers have voted to unionize at facebook where they were punished by their direct employer for that decision and this is not the only high tech company not really liking having to deal with unions as you'll see in

Number Seven

Number Seven Challenging the massive power of google after the death of george floyd a google engineer sent an email to colleagues to raise funds soon after she was summoned into a meeting with google's human relations department

They were not happy with what she had done this engineer and a few colleagues felt this to be a limitation of their freedom of thought and decided to form a labor union

They called it the alphabet workers union in their mission statement they declare to fight not only for workers rights but also to ensure their company acts ethically

Number Eight

Number Eight Managers tend to withhold good news to preserve their bargaining power employers have learned to use subtle psychological techniques in order to not lose power over their employees apparently workers are much more likely to leave the reins in the hands of their employers

When things are going poorly they trust and rely on the entrepreneurial skills of those who hired them and even are willing to give up a part of their power to ensure that things get better often

However the employer reveals the real and much rosier situation immediately after closing the deal in their favor leaving the unions with a handful of flies
