Union does not protect you from layoff. They will be able to negotiate for severance package, but seeing the way big techs are handling it, I highly doubt unions can negotiate a better one.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoI have some criticism, mainly in that I want visa-holders to fit the legal definition of employed for longer so that they can find a new job without the 30 day deadline over their heads.
- creativenolo 4y agoA union’s function is to protect you from layoffs. They stand to protect you from layoffs through collective bargaining. The difference in how layoffs are handled between the US & parts of Europe is astounding, where big tech could be bothered to face the fight against union influenced legislation and works rights.
- AtlasBarfed 4y agoWhat? Unions absolutely can protect against layoffs, by threatening to strike over them. Union: Oh, you are making 16 billion profit and want to lay off 12,000 people on a whim? How about we strike and your profit is cut in half next quarter and you all miss your stock options? Huh, no layoffs, funny. Granted we haven't SEEN an effective labor union in the US (aside from the police unions) in about 100 years, that doesn't mean they can't work in principle.
