Madison Young, a Hardhat on a Construction Site is Not an Empowering Personal Choice | Focal Point | Big Think:
It's a cruel joke to say that it's the "employee's choice" to use safety equipment when it's the boss's choice to fire the employee. [...]It is all about how the power of the worker has been destroyed in this country, yet those weak and helpless workers keep electing people and supporting corporations that just make their own lives worse...
We don't empower workers by saying: "You get to decide whether to be safe and unemployed, or unsafe and employed. Good luck!" We empower workers by setting safety standards and enforcing them.
