Isn't a very toxic corporate culture the perfect reason for them to be getting a union?

- duxup 4y agoPeople can be toxic regardless if there is a union or not. Humanity is endlessly capable of finding ways to do anything (good and bad). Unions and employers negotiate what kind of decisions are made and how, but they're hardly inclusive of every last thing. Some of the worst employer's I've had were union shops. It's entirely possible to have the opposite experience too, but there's nothing about a union that prevents toxicity. For the record I've zero experience with how Kickstarter is / this isn't a comment about how or if there are issues at Kickstarter with such things.
- anamexis 4y agoUnions might not prevent toxic personalities, but they certainly can protect against toxic managers.
- duxup 4y agoI’ve found that to be untrue. Often what people think of as “toxic” are informal actions and behaviors that unions don’t resolve. Maybe they can sit with you in a meeting but that doesn’t change how that manager can behave.
- tick_tock_tick 4y agoIf you take a group of toxic people, the current employee base, and institutionalize them as a Union well now you still have a toxic culture but no way to get ride of the problematic employees.
- lupire 4y ago"toxic culture" almost always means managers abusing staff.
