Clock in, clock out.
Whats the downside? you get fired? Thats going to happen anyway.
Bring on the NFL model, where players get half the revenue.

We stopped caring what people in Europe were up to in 1776. They do what they want, we do what we want. I won't look to force them to shun socialism, and they can offer me the same respect. I have no interest in being in a union. I know unions. Wife was in one for a long time. I do not agree with them or their tactics. If you do, good for you, try to unionize your location or LOB, but I'm not interested and will never vote 'yes'.
The comments below just show how uneducated the american workforce is compared to folks overseas. People cry about their wages and then complain about the french or the spanish when they don't have the same problems because they're all unionized and don't give it a second thought.
5 years ago there was a great opportunity for unions across the nation to show that they were still worth something. When they sided with big pharma against their own workers, they doomed their own legacy.
With a union, you may get downsized. Without a union, you definitely will. Not a hard decision.
Charlie's coming for all American workers, as people on here point out so often. You have nothing to lose but your chains.
God willing
@b3 And transit workers, screenwriters, teachers, nurses, camera operators, editors. . .
@OP Unfortunately, most of the American workforce has been brainwashed against unions, especially in "white collar" jobs, as you can tell from the mo--nic comments in this thread. Another example of Americans voting against their own best interests.
Unions are dead. Get over it.
So you pay union thugs a chunk of your paycheck and you get what, exactly, in return? You can still get fired, you can still get a lousy eval, you absolutely will still be required to come to work on time every day. None of that will change but youll be paying dues to what is basically another layer of management that doesnt give a cr-p about you. Professional athletes are in no way analogous to corporate pencil pushers who are a dime a dozen. Dont delude yourself.
Outside a union, you may get downsized. Within one, you definitely will. Not a hard decision, though it would be hilarious if that was indeed Shart's legacy. What we really need is a union movement in Hudson Yards. The true belly of the beast. At least there they couldn't coincidentally close the location.
Most of that unionization momentum stalled out. At least 3 branches decertified their previous union votes. I don't see it happening at scale.
