Unions are just the pillow between the ruling class boot and your face. Some unions are softer than others.

Worker directed enterprises are the solution. (aka worker coops) This is the only 1 of the 3 types of socialism I whole heartedly support. (the other 2 are big gov)

$2 extra is NOT enough. The worst thing is Amazon is NOT telling their workers that some of them have it. It's a cover up.

It's already out of hand.

Worker Coops operate under capitalism. I fully support them. The problem is, as with all socialism, they fall apart. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Everyone wants to run the thing their way. So instead they compromise on some kind of democratic system where everyone votes on every detail. Which ends up with a lot of disjointed mob rule bullshit. The only way it works is when everyone involved has a high IQ and can be reasoned with, and also is honest and selfless. Otherwise you either get really stupid people forcing the company to do stupid things, or you get people trying to leverage their influence to extract as much personal benefit from the company as possible usually to the detriment of the company.

The best you can do is have an LLC with a few good men. They run the company and hire help as necessary. And thus you have every company currently running in the US. So we already have the best system available.
