It's not often that someone responds to his own posting, but after
having sent it off the following paragraph struck me as being a little
dumb because changing jobs in today's labour market is not that easy and
the job you change to may be no better than the one you left.
Isn't it more accurate to say that the job you change to
*may very well be worse than the one you left* -- and, again
fine tuning: not the job you left, but the job that ceased to
exist and which therefore contributes nothing to *anybody* any more?
"Many people put in more that 37.5 hours and much of the work they
do is tedious and demeaning. However, unlike the serf or slave,
they can change jobs and, if they are unionized, can negotiate the
conditions under which they work. That was less possible in earlier
times."

Aren't fewer and fewer workers unionized these days, at least in the USA?
