Yeah I've heard of roofers working in places like Florida making 8$ an hour, which is just unbelievable. I can't imagine anyone when i was growing up stepping on a roof for less than 20.
That's a really good example. Similar industry to the trades, maybe slightly less intellectual labor but a whole lot of physical labor and job hazard, but because there's no guild protecting them they get treated like garbage. The solution being pushed is never "set up a roofer's union" though, it's always "don't be a roofer".
