It won't happen because those criteria are antithetical to the purpose of a union. Unions are about solidarity as a working class against corporations. It doesn't work unless members see eachother as on the same side regardless of perceived competence
- fallingknife 5y agoI'm not on the side of the dead weight I have to pull at work. Not ever. I'm not on the side of the useless union official who makes a multiple of my salary (taken out of my paycheck) for preaching "solidarity" to me. Results or GTFO. Union people talk like you, which is why Google doesn't need to convince me that unions are bad. Unions have already done the work for them.

- tablespoon 5y agoIt might be interesting to have a union that functions sort of like a cooperative consulting/contracting company with an exclusive contract: the employer pays the union, but the union itself performs hiring, firing, performance evaluations, etc. such that it's beneficial to the union itself to drop freeloaders. Obviously there'd be a lot of complicated details to work out so the employer can't actually treat the union like it would a regular contracting company (e.g. a tool to keep its responsibilities to labor at even greater length, and fire with even less care).
