What industry were / are you in?
I'd really like to hear about this from people in blue-collar jobs, with small incomes, and smaller bargaining power. I am not sure if a Silicon Valley perspective about this is necessarily representative or useful.
- elicash 9y agoI actually think this is the wrong way of thinking about it. While Silicon Valley may be unique, that just means the things workers in those jobs want to focus their collective bargaining around may be unique, too. Not working in Silicon Valley, I won't pretend to know what those things are, but I certainly know that every workplace has issues and that without unions, the power structure is completely unbalanced in favor of management. OP mentions sexual harassment. But if the workers wanted, they could actually collectively bargain even STRONGER sexual harassment policies than management wanted!
