Why do people believe that unions are a magic bullet and that in a unionshop something like this would be impossible?
I am here to tell you anyone that claims that clearly has no experience with US employment unions
While true the union will protect lazy, long tenured employees that do not rock the boat, follow the rules, and do the exact amount of required work (no more or less)
Troublesome employees, that rock the boat, are toss out just as fast in a union shop, there is just more paperwork
- kcplate 4y agoVery true, after the employment agreement is made, a union doesn’t protect the employee who is intentionally violating company policies as part of the agreement. It basically protects the employee from the company from intentionally violating their own policies towards the employee by giving them a layer of due process before they are terminated. People on here might try to argue that the union would never allow surveillance, but I know from experience working in a union company, unionized employees were directly surveilled, supervised, and measured.
- devmor 4y agoA union is what the label says. It's a union of employees. If your union is bad and everyone knows it's bad but doesn't do anything to change it, you're treating it like another employer. You have to get involved.
