ALPA does a lot for us beyond that but when you get down to the nuts and bolts, that's the reality. Labor isn't anything different than, let's say tires, the company wants the cheapest tires that will do the job.
When people get emotional over how RG operates, they are losing perspective.
No, they are getting emotional because the company (RG) isn't complying with, and changing the terms of the sale. Getting emotional does nothing to change things but it is totally understandable given the product is human. RG is the reason, and his action/inaction is the source of the conflict. To ask a human to not be emotional when the company (an entity recognized legally as having the same rights as a person) messes with your QOL, pay, health etc. is unrealistic.
