You definitely haven't actually been involved with a union if you think that, except maybe a police union. Employees need other protections than just pay, and employers rarely give out substantial raises without collective bargaining, and are also empowered to create unsafe working conditions and discriminatory environments without someone to tell them to piss off.

Yeah, the rapid inflation of rents for people here for "affordable" housing drove me out of Richmond and back to my parents'...

In April, my rent went up by about 20%, then my roommate who makes a lot more than me left because I was unable to find another roommate who could get us to 3x income.
