84. You work at the mercy of your employer
Edited on Thu Feb-05-04 01:30 PM by pmbryant
If you feel comfortable placing that degree of control over your life and career in the hands of some other person whose interests are likely far different from yours, then you certainly have every right to do so.

But it is not likely to be a smart business decision. In any industry.

EDIT: If you are in the extreme minority of workers in a powerful enough position to negotiate an individual contract, then your POV makes a bit more sense (just a bit). But this is not the case for the vast, vast majority. Unions are essential for everybody else.
