It's weird that you're getting so much pushback against the highly reasonable idea of waiting a bit to see how things shake out. This feels like a high school boyfriend trying to push you into doing more than you're comfortable doing.
It's fun for us to look down from our ivory towers and be pleased that unions are cruising along but it's less fun when you're in a factory that gets shut down because Amazon doesn't want to deal with unions. That's to say nothing of the myriad of other problems pro-union advocates like to pretend don't exist.
- agentdrtran 5y agoOn average, unionized workplaces are much safer with higher-paid and happier workers. It is also illegal to close down a facility to prevent or in response to workers forming a union. Workers in labor unions have reported being happier than non-union counterparts for years now.
- brimble 5y agoI occasionally get insight into what unions are and are not doing for some of my friends and their co-workers. A strong union seems to be great. For-sure various abusive or simply needlessly-shitty practices in their workplaces would carry on without the workers knowing the union has their back when they challenge them, to pick just one thing. Weak unions seem to be pretty bad, but that's mostly because they don't/can't do anything. The active unions seem awesome.
