    I don't think you'd agree if you were being treated badly at work that you should "improve your own conditions". How on earth does one do that if the conditions are not the result of their own doing?

    Off with them so, no one forces them to work in a job they dislike. Plenty of hard stories of people at airports leaving to work in England and farther afield. Hard choices have to be made during recessions, you make the best of it or you don't, simple as that, no one owes them a living.

    As I said, this could be applied to any workplace (but isn't, thankfully, since bad working conditions generally aren't tolerated anymore) however I note it's only applied when it suits. By people who wouldn't like bad working conditions themselves and wouldn't appreciate being told they can just leave and nobody forced them to work there. If a company treats its staff badly, it is perfectly reasonable to criticise this and expect improvement. It is not reasonable to deflect the responsibility onto the staff members being treated poorly. This is a type of victim blaming, which is quite fashionable at times by "no-nonsense" types.
    Nobody owes anyone a living, but if they do appoint them they do owe them working conditions that meet a certain minimum in terms of treatment.

    Good luck, hope it stays fine for ya. 400,000 unemployed, yep, it's a workers paradise alright.

    Unfortunately some folks do take advantage of the economic situation and exploit workers unnecessarily. Thankfully most don't agree with that approach.
