What a shame I live in Washington, I'd vote for you just for that reply.

Russia AND Russia, you say?

Also, this is how I imagine you walkinginto work every day.

Have you also learned magic from the Ancient One?

I really hate "Right to Work." Where I'm from, we call it "Right to starve." But on the other hand now that I live in a state where unions are the norm, I feel extreme opposition to the need to sign onto a union.

Why is there nowhere that has an option? Either you CAN'T join a union, or you HAVE to join a union. Even as a factory worker, I objected to being forced to pay the union part of my pay in order for them to make decisions I disagree with on my behalf.

But when I was a retail worker, I kind of longed for an advocate (encouraged to skip our legally mandated breaks, encouraged to work off the clock, etc). Why is there no middle ground on this issue?

Yeah that's totally fair. The system as it exists is designed to fuck over either one party or the other, with little room to benefit everyone.
