Or are you advocating for forced Unionization? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Perhaps not forced, I'm not really a fan of that much state control, but broader adoption, more public and government support (support, not force), things like this.
