* Manage on-call rotations.

  Yep that's a great one. 24h on-call is garbage and unions could absolutely pressure businesses to have more reasonable policies.

    What's the alternative to 24hr on-call?
    • UncleMeat 5y ago
      Services that don't have strict SLAs. Or follow-the-sun support teams.
      • ceras 5y ago
        No strict SLA is unrealistic for many businesses (imagine NYT going down for an entire weekend), but follow-the-sun could work if employees really want it.

          Agreed, the internet is core infrastructure and cloud services will increasingly handle more and more essential services. A union would put the on-call rules/schedules/compensation in the hands of the workers, not left to the whims of an unaccountable manager.
