台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
Labor Unions formed to unite workers, so that they had some bargaining power about wages and work conditions. Historically, manual laborers were paid low wages, and then cast aside once they could no longer work.
工会的成立是为来要集结劳工的力量,让他们对于薪资及工作条件有谈判的能力。在过去,劳力工作者的薪水极低,而且一旦他们无法再继续工作,公司就会将他们开除。
