And that is why it is so important to have unions that have teeth. If the workers were to unite and go on strike all at once, like in France, these kinds of bills would never pass.

It is when you have a mortgage, kids, and debt to account for sadly.

I'm not telling you that people shouldn't do it because it's illegal, I'm telling you that people won't/can't due to the inherent repercussions.

The law can always be changed. It always has been a battle petween the capitalists (bosses) and the worker. It's only by fighting that the workers got their rights.
