> Why not take power that is available to you? Management certainly exercises every bit of power that they are able to. This isn't true. Management only exercises every bit of power once the relationship becomes hostile. There are tons of things management could do to me to make their jobs easier (e.g. standups twice a day at 8am and 4:45pm with mandatory, in-person attendance) that they don't leverage. Unionizing when there isn't already a hostile relationship is sure a way to bring hostility into it.
