Thanks for that info, and ye that does sound like early american history/politics. Cover your own arse and screw the rest hehe.
I think the rest of the world has proven that unions are always needed, so they would not have vanished if government added laws to give everyone a minimum holidays. There is always something to fight for or, and thats the most important one, make sure it all happens like the law says it should. This is also something unions do.

In any case, i cant say how many middle class ( whatever that may even mean these days because i dont consider myself middle class but im not lower class either ) are in the usa since im from the wrong side of the world for that. But what we hear and read ( which are often the loudest people ) its a lot and its just wrong to have to rely on a company giving them to you cause youre valuable. Its like the garbageman/woman from around the corner is not worth not working to death because they are “just collecting trash” which is not a high skill job
