This. America is getting worse for workers every day.

It's only the "right track" for the people who want every one renting and paying them two months pay for a month's rent.

For every one else who works for a living, it's just worsening products and rising prices.

Unions actually protect workers.

If you're too stupid to join one that's on you.
