Not sure where "tying pay to tenure" came up, unless that's how you view what unions do? A union just means a group of employees negotiating as a unit, what changes they ask for isn't dictated in advance.
- dsfyu404ed 7y ago>Not sure where "tying pay to tenure" came up, This is how basically every union workplace in the US works. The pay-scale becomes very rigid. Why would tech be different?
- Apocryphon 7y agoSurely a next-gen labor union based in the tech industry could find a new way to fight ageism without mandating a seniority system. Why does tech have to act the same way as before? I thought we were supposed to be innovators?
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoThe status quo is pretty good, good enough that I (and a lot of people) don't want to make that bet.
- Apocryphon 7y agoWhen there is a proposal that is suggested, there are proponents and detractors. That is tautological. Blankly insisting that things are good enough is just as empty as blankly insisting that things aren't.
- benaiah 7y ago> This is how basically every union workplace in the US works. The pay-scale becomes very rigid. How do you address, other than dismissal, the existence of the SAG and other unions for industries with vastly varying pay levels?
- dragonwriter 7y ago> This is how basically every union workplace in the US works. Well, in that the vast majority of union jobs are either public sector blue-collar, or both, sure. Non-blue-collar, private-sector union jobs don't work that way, though they often have firm minimums (like SAG-AFTRA “scale” pay.)
