In my previous job in Germany. Sector: Tech and Research. Excellent managers, amazing WLB (worked till 8PM once and the manager apologised next day), well paid: earning the median income straight out of college.
Had an excellent union and everyone in company hierarchy worked cordially and yet deferentially with them.
Unions are not necessarily a form of attack. Unionise.
- alostpuppy 4y agoI’ve always wondered if collective bargaining makes things easier in some way for a management.
- geraltofrivia 4y agoThey do because they can go to the executives and deny unreasonable goals outright, something to the effect of ‘how do you think four people with 39h of work weeks can do this’, implying that these hours are not going to increase so let’s hold our horses.
- driverdan 4y agoGerman unions are much different than US unions though.
- geraltofrivia 4y agoProbably because its easy and common to Unionise in Germany, they don’t have to go through hell and high water to form a collective (as silly as it sounds in the first place!)
