Would a free market give you weekends, sick leave, pension?

You don't think employers have to compete for employees? Are you not putting down terms for your contract or do you just sheepishly accept anything offered to you? Not to mention the massive train wreck called state ran pensions, do you really want to get into that?
Do you think McDonalds and Burger King would compete for employees giving them free weekends?

> do you just sheepishly accept anything offered to you Yes if there is no other option. Did coal miners in 1910 england just accepted those poor terms because they were dumb? They did not have other options. What if you are disabled, elderly.

State ran pensions: it's not good, but what is the other option?

Imagine a world where "free market" would regulate everything without states. You would 100% depend on your employee, on corporations?
