Quite frankly there is a need for a third party (an honest broker) that come handle all this on behalf of employees, along with salary, benefits, 401k, and other related financial matters.
When people cannot balance their checkbooks, and cannot make simple financial planning for the next 6 months, how are they to understand these seemingly complex structures.
UNLESS SOFTWARE.
- Too 11y agoWhat you are describing sounds like a trade union and collective agreements.
- looptwasafail 11y agoNot a "trade union"; a "professional association," like the AMA or ADA.
- gaius 11y agoA guild.
- looptwasafail 11y agoDon't call it that. The idea is to avoid words like "union" or "guild" that arouse suspicion. Professional associations like the AMA and ADA fly under the anti-union radar.
- gaius 11y agoWhatever we call it, it will have to be a new thing. What exists right now in the UK is the BCS who are a laughing stock among any practitioner. Even the respected professional associations such as the IMechE barely look out for the interests of their members, not compared to the BMA at any rate.
- rokhayakebe 11y agoNot necessarily. Example: Lawyers are not a union, but I can hire one for my divorce. Developers are not a union, but I can hire one to build my application. Accountants are not a union, but I can hire one to do my taxes.
