Unions are majority rule democratic. When I worked at a plant for one of the big 3, the candidates the union submitted for trades promotions were universally white men. The union didn’t look out for women or minorities particularly well because the majority rules. People assume a tech union will lead to things being somehow more just, but be careful for what you wish for. James Damore might just have the votes.

- jcampbell1 7y agoInternal union elections were secret ballot.
- walshemj 7y agoWhat is a trades promotions - is this jargon for the executive ?
- jcampbell1 7y agoNo, going from an assembly worker to a skilled trade like an electrician fixing robots. Compensation roughly doubles.
