When you can barely even pay each month’s rent, just moving to a new apartment locally can require a year or two of savings. And thats assuming you don’t have children or any other unexpected (car broke down, medical bills).

We're not asking them to make the job to our satisfaction.

We're asking them to treat people with the minimum of respect and dignity.

If you feel like you're not being treated with dignity and respect, then quit the job.

You've said that in another branch of this thread.

Do you understand that some people don't have that option? Or cannot move to a new location? Through no fault of their own?

Why can't people use the powers they have delegated to the government to put a stop to these practices, for the growing class of people who are trapped in jobs with conditions similar to this?

I never said they can't lobby the government. I said they shouldn't feel entitled.

If I'm destitute and I'm at a soup kitchen; I wouldn't complain about the food even if it sucks, because the alternative is to starve.

It's the same thing here, beggars can't be choosers. If you want the government to change the rules, go ahead. But don't demonize the company that's literally putting food on your table because you don't like the only job you can find.
