Per-company unions are actually very effective and can't be encouraged enough. In a well run company union, employers have no other choice for purchasing labor - functioning just like a local monopoly. AT&T charges me out the ass because I have no other option; per-company unions enjoy that same privilege. Very few people break ranks.
That said, the biggest issue for per-company monopolies is having everyone agree on a wage structure. They work easiest for similarly paid groups of people.

- randyrand 9y agoThat's a great point. Getting remote workers to agree to unionize sounds difficult, particularly if the company does not have an open contact directory.
