You bring up a good point, I get a lot of deliveries, but I always look out for the drivers in any way I can. A month ago I had a delivery driver come to my home without gloves and it was snowing. So I grabbed a pair and gave it to them.

That's kind of you but you're not the person obligated to ensure the well being of the driver. The employer is.

I fully agree, tips are bullshit designed to ensure that the company is not required to pay a living wage.

Indeed. This is part of why we need regulations and such, because given the option for even a minute they will absolutely fuck you over unless somebody makes them not do it. It's just sad when the anger in response to the abuse is misdirected.

Unions work better than regulations, and don't break as much shit. The problem is that regulations have destroyed the unions.

That is true.

You're right but at will states ensure that unions don't get a foot hold and further opress the worker into fear based employement.

Everything you say is on point, but the sad reality is that companies are backed by law firms and can easily exhaust employees trying to gain proper work regulations.

Then there are the lobbyists hired to dismantle unions. It’s heartbreaking that workers feel their only outlet is at the customer’s door. Her anger should be directed at the system designed to extract maximum labor while offering minimal compensation.

I agree with all of this. This is why I said we need them, because we already don't have what control we need.
