We have labor unions in the US, but membership has decllined over the years to less than 20% of the workforce. Labor unions can be just as oppressive and corrupt as employers.
You seem to favor a more active and larger role for the government in the relationship between employer and employee with the view that the employer is the villian. You have no appreciation for entrepreneurship and the fact that small businessmen must put their own capital at risk to start up a business and make it profitable. They are the engines of prosperity and the ones who create jobs, not the government.
This is a misunderstanding. I am convinced that market economy is needed and that most of employers benefit the common good. I am addressing the anti-worker bias, where the employees are seen as benefactors and workers as recipients, where the corporations are good and unions are bad, where the capital/investment is respected while human labor is reduced to a commodity.
I believe that Free Market Fundamentalism is wrong, that the society should have balance between interests of workers and employers, that mere market is not sufficient to regulate economy and can be a destructive force.
And yes, I think that moderate government intervention and regulation is necessary.
Also I reject the XIX century laissez faire concept night-watchman state. The state is the highest form of social organization and man is a social being by nature.
Returning to the initial phrase: You seem to favor a more active and larger role for the government
I am not sure. Perhaps government is already too "active" and there is no need for "larger role". The question is WHAT role government plays.
