Unions are the reason workers have weekends, holidays, safety, and such because they have one purpose: advocating for the rank-and-file

A rising tide raises all boats is appropriate here. If you’re off work on Sunday, thank a union member. Without solidarity the feudal system and indentured servants would prevail again.

Which is one step away from actual slavery.
