Because these kids are coming in, and not even kids. I'm 40 years old. I started as a CCA at 40 years old.

They're coming in making less than $20 an hour. They're not considered a career, so they're not paying into their retirement. You don't got all the same union protections. Your benefits are super low. You get five days of annual leave a year and no sick time. Yeah, it's a meat grinder.

So that was a big thing, and it creates a whole third tier because we already have two different tiered wage system, which sucks enough. And anyone that pays attention to labor, that drives a huge wedge between workers, and it crushes solidarity. It kneecaps a union.

If they have these people constantly and they're constantly burning through them and they never have to pay full benefits, they never have to pay into their retirement. They never have to pay them more than $20 an hour. And they can just get you to work your ass off and burn out and quit within two years. As people retire, their labor costs go down. It's evil.
