  • I can’t speak for most of your post. I’ll say that an app that might allow you to find out if you’re being paid your fair wage sounds great, I couldn’t begin to know how to execute on that idea.

    But what I will say is this:

    I’m not sure if working with a union is worth it, especially in a country, where employers have reportedly hired goons to silence employees, not just blue-collar, but also IT sweat-shop employees.

    The past has taught us that labor victories are achieved despite significant opposition. The history of the Pinkertons, the history of the Haymarket affair in Chicago, the history of the Ludlow Massacre and the greater Coalfields War in Colorado and more. These stories are filled with people fighting against a system that will, when it feels it’s necessary, resort to incredibly oppressive methods of enforcement. You can probably find similar stories in India’s history. This is a history that shows how powerful labor is because if it weren’t, we wouldn’t need groups like the Pinkertons. Is it personally worth it? It’s up to you to decide, but the challenges we face today can help us build a better future.
