  • Edit: I’m mixing up a at will employment with right to work. Sorry for the confusion. See updated comment below:

    Right to work: Joining a union and paying union dues can no longer be a requirement of employment. This slowly degrades the power of the union and ultimately reduces wages and benefits of the workers

    Right to work At will employment is: A right to be fired at any point for any reason or no reason at all

    The goal is to get around any union protections that require things like a legitimate reason to be fired from a job.

    It also has the added bonus of drastically reducing the benefits of unions and making them much easier to prevent.



  • Part of the reason is what the consequences are.

    Being perceived as gay in public? You get beat. Want to marry your partner? Too bad. Want to be able to advocate for your partner when they’re in the hospital? You’re now trespassing cause your not family. Happen to be watching nieces/nephews? Congrats , you’re now a pedo. The list of atrocities goes on.

    This has gotten better over the years due to the protests and pride events

    Chronic illnesses are generally met with sympathy. I’ve yet to hear of anyone being beat for their illness except for certain cases of tuberculosis and aids.

    Not to say this group should be ignored. It just gets lost relative to everything else. Everyone deserves healthcare and it ends up being drowned out by that I think.
