If there were no workers unions.......ever?

Question

what do you think working conditions and pay rates would be like? would we have sweat shops too?

also.......why did unions all of a sudden become so un popular? or have they always been like that in recent times? i know in their first days during the industrial revolution people were outright murdered for being in unions...

Answer 1

First thing you do is throw away that 40 hour work week you are fond of, and oh yeah those 2 days that you refer to as the weekend, you can kiss them goodbye too...

There is a reason why we have a holiday honoring them...   We owe more that might think to Unions...
