If unions can see the budget sheet and negotiate accordingly, they wouldn't kill the company. They want to keep their jobs, this is nonsense.

- malandrew 9y agoWhy should unions get to see the budget and negotiate? It's not their business and they aren't entitled to that information. If they don't think their salary is fair, they can always seek work elsewhere.
- SapphireSun 9y agoCongrats, you just added one more nail in the coffin of capitalism.
- malandrew 9y agoNo worries. Socialism's coffin was nailed shut and buried long ago.
- markmark 9y agoWait, you think people shouldn't negotiate their salary?
- malandrew 9y agoThey are welcome to negotiate salary. They aren't welcome to private information that isn't theirs such as the company budget.
- anigbrowl 9y ago"My precious!" You seem terrified of the idea that they might choose to negotiate as a group for some reason, even when they go about that in a perfectly voluntary fashion.
- k__ 9y agoI don't see the problem. If companies get bigger, they get more specialized people. When you got 3 people, the dev is probably also the admin and the tech support, if you got 30 you get multiple people for each job. It's only logical to get some specialized people (the leaders of the union) to negotiate salaries, while the rest of the the workforce does their work. Sure, if you see the companies success independent from the employees success this doesn't make much sense, but if you see the both entangled, why shouldn't this be okay?
- anigbrowl 9y agoWhy not? They do most of the work,maybe they should have the opportunity to chime in on how the business is run. Maybe they might actually be able to offer positive suggestions. So yes, it is to some extent their business.
