“Little to no bargaining power” doesn’t mean anything. You hold your boss accountable to treating you fairly. I met a kid that last year worked in a cash only Vietnamese sandwich shop. Only white kid there. He essentially unionized the place and stopped the owner from stealing their tips.
If a 20 year old can stand up to person like that when he can barely speak the language, I don’t want to hear about how a group of Americans who don’t have to fear of getting deported or send any money back home to feed their family struggle in the work environment.
It really sounds like a crazy story but he did it and probably changed some of those workers lives. And don’t even get me started on delivery fees that for whatever reason the workforce agreed shouldn’t be paid to them.
Neat, good for that kid!
