I believe you, but that's just a bizarre situation because a) in a coop do you not just vote on who the management is and how salaries and working conditions are set? And b) your coop needs a union??? Representing the workers against who? We must not have the same definition of coop. Again I'm not saying you're making anything up, that's just quite astonishing.
- Nomentatus 9y agoI should have mentioned that the customers were all members of the Co-op; so that drowned out the votes of the workers. We BADLY needed a union, management was only interested in serving themselves, which they could do well enough 'cause few members voted. Remember that corruption and Co-ops have a long history in the U.S - early Life Insurance companies, many of which survive, were formed as Co-ops 'cause they founders knew the policy holders wouldn't show up to vote: therefore management could pay themselves very well and structure the company to serve themselves.
