My buddy is a manager at a chemical plant, and your comment reminds me of a very astute statement he made recently.
“I don’t generally like unions. I’ve worked at both union and non-union plants. But anytime someone else complains about unions, I remind them that if they have a union at their plant, they earned it.“
- saas_sam 4y agoWhen union plants are shuttered in favor of non-union plants, did they earn that too? Or does this logic only apply in one direction?
- jrajav 4y agoI think it's fair to say that most unions have been established as a sole result of proportional human effort, while the same cannot be said for the success of most businesses. There are many instances where an existing imbalance in power or resource ownership is a significant factor in a business' success.
- QuarterReptile 4y agoYes? Why wouldn't they?
- Forgeties79 4y agoHis point is having a union established often means the problems were really bad.
- feet 4y agoSounds like a manager's take on unions, at least he sounds somewhat reasonable. Good on him
- Forgeties79 4y agoYeah, even as a very pro-union guy (film background) I couldn’t really take issue with that stance.
