You're living in a townhouse as part of an apartment complex. The apartment complex has benefits such as a pool and hot tub, indoor gym, full size basketball court, a library, and a garden. You have 2 other roommate/coworkers, and you have 6 neighbor/coworkers. A Labor neutrality agreement is guaranteed, and both tenant unions and labor unions will be voluntarily recognized.

wouldn't this have a different (slightly?) outcome if there were actual workers protection legislation? I'm pointing out how the whole 'fire at will' BS is flat-out inhumane...

I could see this working in NZ where it's challenging to sack people unless they're outright fraudulent or hostile, for example

    No because everything will slowly be chipped away from you. There’s not a single country on earth that will be immune to that. $15 an hour 5 years later, 10 years later… having to fight for that raise. Having to deal with moving goalposts to keep your housing. Yall have lost your fucking minds thinking you’re immune to this.
