Senior employees who are motivated only by personal profit, with absolutely no feeling for their fellow humans are right to fight the unionization effort.
- max76 8y agoThis is black and white thinking. There is a wide range of possible positions between "motivated only by personal profit, with absolutely no feeling for their fellow humans" and wanting to build a union.
- justin66 8y agoParent post was responding to black and white thinking: Union representation will probably bring up the compensation of the worst workers and lower the compensation of the top workers, so senior employees are right to fight the unionization effort.
- shados 8y agoI hope you've never argued for a raise when you could have asked your boss to give someone else a raise instead. It's like, yeah, we should think about others, that's great. But not every and all attempts at raising one's own status completely bad and evil. When I was young and starting my career, there were plenty of fields I could have picked that were almost all unionized (in my home country, unions are the norm almost everywhere). I specifically didn't go those ways because I felt I could do better without. Didn't stop the others to go that route. Now that I'm there, on purpose, if people tried to build a union, I'd probably push back. And if the majority still wanted it (that's their right!), then they can get it, and I'll move somewhere else.
- djmips 8y agoYou didn't explain why.
- duado 8y agoOr senior employees who think that underperformers should be quickly fired with a generous severance rather than dragged along for the journey.

- geezerjay 8y ago> Senior employees who are motivated only by personal profit The push to unionize is also motivated by personal profit. Why is that a bad thing?
