I just want to point out that you could say this same thing about the 5 day week, the 40 hour week, sick days, safety standards, holidays, etc. Each of these concessions was extracted by a labor movement, not given freely by employers, or even the result of market forces. If we want it, we need to take it together. Until we do, we'll keep working longer hours for wages that continue to stagnate. United we bargain; divided we beg.
