What else have the unions given us?

40 hour work weeks, the concept of the weekend, restrictions on child-labor, protections against descrimination and unlawful termination, overtime, sick days…lots of things.

Business is about making a profit. But once the profit is made, what do you do with it? Do you reinvest it in the company, including giving some of it back to the workers, without whom you wouldn’t have made the profit in the first place, or do you keep it all for yourself, ultimately hurting the very business you claim to care about?
