My comment did not imply that a board vote grants veto power. I suggested that the union could "veto deals ... via strike or mass resignation". This means that the union decides on a maximum dilution and agrees to strike or resign if the board makes a deal that dilutes employee positions more than the maximum.
> Unions don't necessarily get board observer status, let alone board seats, AKA a board vote.
My comment did not mention anything about board seats. The board would grant the union permission to attend board meetings, lest the board inadvertently trigger a strike or mass resignation.
Next time, please read the comment carefully before replying.
- anamax 5y agoTake that up with the person who wrote "[The union] could attend board meetings and veto deals that harm the employees via strike or mass resignation." Board meetings are for board members, so I gave that person the benefit of the doubt. My mistake.
