- SilasX 8y agoThat's like saying that a guard is doing nothing because no one's trying to break in. No, the guard is a check that deters burglars form taking advantage of you. After a burglary is too late to bring guards on board, and after dramatic unmerited changes in the terms of employment is too late to start a union -- or, at least, later than you'd like. (Not commenting on whether the union will actually work as I've described, just trying to spec out what a reasonable union would look like here, and refute the idea that it's "doing nothing" when the union has a good deal that lasts.)
- dragonwriter 8y ago> after dramatic unmerited changes in the terms of employment is too late to start a union. It's actually pretty invariably when unions are formed other than at firms in industries that are otherwise pervasively unionized. Which is actually pretty analogous to physical security: outside of measures taken by everyone in similar circumstances, most heightened measures are taken after a dramatic experience shatters the sense of safety.
