    I am a leftist, I absolutely believe that the working class should have stronger rights, and that union action is the best path forward to keep the capitalists in check…

    …I’ve just seen this fail too many times to be called a viable path, because the capitalists can simply hire cheaper labor.

    Germany has strong unions. Germany is also a very racist country. I know how this sounds, but I think there is correlation.

    As Wholefoods put it

    Data collected in the heat map suggest that stores with low racial and ethnic diversity, especially those located in poor communities, are more likely to unionize.

    upvoted because there’s an implication in the main post that the worker who blames migrant inflow as a race issue

    • The government is not going to curb the capitalists hiring methods
    • Unions are hard work and not guaranteed to have results
    • Electing a government tough on migrant work is the easiest path

    Edit: will this have a knockon effect on other facets of the economy (cheaper services: car repair, retail, landscaping, etc.), oh absolutely, but this was the path available to you
