I enjoyed all of these, but the crystal ball was the one that actually made me laugh out loud for some reason. Seriously considering that for my next tattoo.

It's a cop out answer because there are multiple instances of rural communities across the country that might only have one or two employers they could go to at any given time, and usually also results in a pay cut. If you live in a town whose sole businesses are factory farming and gas stations, how easy do you think it would be to leave a job paying $12/hr at the farm to go work for $7.25 at the gas station? Not to mention a potential loss of benefits that could come along with that. Additionally, those wages are hardly sustainable for a family, leaving no room for savings to pack up and leave town for better employment opportunities. "Just get a better job" is ten times easier said than done.

So how would you respond to your employer systemically denying you and your coworkers something as simple as no paid time off for illnesses? Please explain WITHOUT using the cop out answer of "get a better job".

But if the union's breach of contract occurs because the company breaches their side of the contract, or fails to negotiate on a new contract in good faith, is it still okay to sue?

Because laws in America are written to benefit corporations and profits, not the people living in the US. Hell, right now the US Supreme Court is hearing a case that will determine whether or not companies can sue unions and/or individuals for profits lost during a strike.
