This is actually quite reasonable and the same in Germany as well. While a collective bargaining agreement is in effect and has not been cancelled (there are minimum times and notice periods), a strike would be illegal.
The idea is to give both sides some assurance that what has been agreed is stable and not up to the whim of either the employer or the union.
- Bilal_io 4y agoThe way my break breaks down this issue is simple (to me): - overtime should be optional, you don't know what's going on in people's lives. They should have the right to refuse to work overtime without justification. - the business should compensate workers for working overtime. - if nobody wants to work overtime, that's the company's problem, they could change shifts to accommodate different hours. - since I believe overtime is optional, then firing a worker for it should be an offense that warrants the union to be involved, and the union may use its collective bargaining power to make a change. But of course, the policy the workers/union agreed to is important to consider. That being said, companies take advantage of unpaid overtime to overwork their employees, and it becomes a habit and easy money-saver solution.
