- missedthecue 4y agoIs there any industrial union in the US that works the way that the screen actors guild does?
- itsdrewmiller 4y agoProbably not but neither the article nor comment are about industrial unions? Many of the tech sector unions lack the alleged rigidity of industrial CBAs.
- missedthecue 4y agoThe union in question is for retail employees, not tech employees (even though they sell tech products). They are represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, an industrial union.
- itsdrewmiller 4y agoThe name of the union organizing workers does not imply much about the contract negotiated on behalf of a bargaining unit. The United Steelworkers have organized google IT subcontractors. (That said I wouldn't expect a ton of compensation flexibility in retail CBAs, but I'm not an expert there either.)
- bwestergard 4y agoIt's extremely common. I'm afraid I don't have time to dig one up, but if you click around here for a while you'll find many contracts in manufacturing that specify minimums per job title. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/olms/cba https://www.dol.gov/agencies/olms/cba
