Are unions helpful in promoting social justice?
Unions play a crucial role in promoting social justice by advocating for fair wages, better working conditions, and equitable treatment for workers.
The movie "Bread and Roses," based on the real-life Justice for Janitors campaign, illustrates the power of collective action in fighting for the rights of marginalized workers.
Through unionization efforts, janitors were able to challenge oppressive working conditions and demand dignity and respect in the workplace.
Unions...
act as a voice for workers who might otherwise be unheard, providing them with a platform to address grievances and negotiate with employers.
By organizing strikes, demonstrations, and collective bargaining, unions empower workers to assert their rights and push for meaningful change.
In the case of the janitors' strike depicted in the film, the unionization efforts ultimately led to improved wages, benefits, and working conditions for thousands of workers.

Unions can impose rigid regulations and burdensome costs on employers, which may lead to reduced investment, outsourcing, or even layoffs.
cutting costs elsewhere
