You gotta learn context. Unions are fighting the big guys, they aren't trying to crush the little guys. I have a small business too and my CEO works non stop like your dad and we pay everyone at least 30% over market rate. Many businesses care about their employees. GM, Tesla, Amazon are all examples of companies with CEOs who don't.
Really? I think you're ignoring the context of my post within the thread. The image in discussion doesn't assert unions are good, or CEOs are bad, or small business are good or anything you bring up in your post. The image in discussion asserts CEOs have a bad work ethic, which is factually incorrect and completely unproductive in terms of advancing work reform.
I was using my father as a comparison to say: People can be hard workers and still treat their employees badly.
Anyone who calls a small business owner a CEO has air for a brain, sure they might technically be one but everyone and the grandma is only referring to the CEO of large fortune 500 style business when they talk about ceos. No one gives a fuck about the 2 man shop your pops is running in butt fuck nowhere.
Thank you for continuously ignoring my point.
Good talk.
