How does a 31 person union afford the overhead of planning union stuff. Does it require members to volunteer time?

- toomuchtodo 3y agoYou overestimate the effort and cost required in planning union stuff. It's relatively low effort. (I contribute to labor organizing efforts and building tech to help scale it)
- viraptor 3y agoAlso, when things are not going great, people already have those meetings anyway. (If they care enough about staying at the company) When you care enough to organise an union, I suspect it overall just replaces time spent on grumbling about work during/after hours.
- pg_1234 3y agoYeah, instead of going above and beyond for the company, just go above and beyond for your colleagues. Same workday, just properly compensated.

Management had contested those 16 ballots, so they weren't included in the final tally. https://twitter.com/bandcampunited/status/1659658210767151130 https://twitter.com/bandcampunited/status/165965821076715113...
- rakoo 3y agoIt doesn't have to be overhead, you're already not paid for the entirety of your work anyway. Take time off your work time.
