    I don’t oppose this, but it should be done by employees themselves rather than further leaving this up to congress.

      How? Maybe by electing people to some kinda group? Maybe a congress of people?

        Perhaps collectively gathering, discussing what would be good things, then kindly telling the boss they’re going to hold a picket until good things get done.

        But honestly, if good things come by law before that, I think it would be neat. Wouldn’t want the boss to get scared by all the kindness, you know?

        Strikes, refusing to work. Which yes, unfortunately not everyone has that luxury, which it could be argued something like a UBI(or negative income tax) could provide, or at least not as excessive housing costs.

        By choosing the job that is best for oneself. I work Uber by choice, and I work long hours by choice, and I’m happy about it.

          You know Uber only pays you the way they do because the government had to step in.
