Does the union get the same deal?
- Aunche 6y agoIf the union pays people $15 to watch pro-labor documentary, I'm sure many people would sign up.
- pmiller2 6y agoThat's not the same deal. Amazon's deal is "here, watch this anti-union propaganda. We won't pay you any more than we usually do, and you're fired if you don't." Would you be in favor of the union having the same power? Why or why not?
- Aunche 6y agoIn that case, there's no equivalent comparison because one's an employer and the other is not. That doesn't change my original point that the description was loaded.
- pmiller2 6y agoSure there's an equivalent. It's > Hey, guys, we're going to have 2 mandatory information sessions, one put on by the company and one put on by the union. They'll be during work hours and you'll get paid your normal rate. Or > Hey, we're holding some optional information sessions outside of work. Here's the info. The union is holding their own session, too. Feel free to come to both, or neither. It won't affect your job at all. Would you be in favor of either one of these?
- RhysU 6y agoYes, if the union is accepted the union gets a cut of the employee's wages via dues.
- pmiller2 6y agoBut there is no union yet. This is only about the election. Does the union get the same ability to "inform" the electorate as Amazon? Can the union threaten peoples' jobs to get them to come to "information" sessions?
