Inverse sat down with Doug Bowser to talk about the release of 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder,' the future of the Nintendo Switch, and the state of the industry.
Well, it could happen, but you will never be able to trust it. Your good boss has a heart attack, someone else takes over, they need to increase profits, and bam. Wages and benefits are cut.
The underlying problem is an imbalance of power in favour of owners over workers; this is the problem unionisation solves, and it cannot be solved any other way.
I’m a printer and I have better pay, benefits and more vacation and sick days than I would in a union shop. There would be zero benefit to me and my coworkers if we unionized.
Decent employers exist but they are definitely the exception.
You probably don’t work for a large company who has a duty to their shareholders. Large companies tend to save any penny they can because it scales up across the company. The workers at the bottom have no way to communicate with their employers too.
Small business has a shorter hierarchy, where you can go talk to the head of the company. They’re usually private companies that don’t have public shareholders.
Which doesn’t happen without a union, no matter how much you wish it.
