Gp and mck have made everything untenable. Everyone’s complaining, understandably so, but what can we do? Is there at all an option to unionize? Who would be interested in that

@tb that’s happening right now anyway so….
@q0 while you are legally allowed to talk about and pursue unionization, once corporate gets wind of it your days are numbered before they get rid of you in a "restructuring" or similar excuse.
Regardless of this message disappearing into the void somewhere, I wanted to point out something on this subject that I commonly see and people ignore: You have a right to talk about and pursue unionization--see Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Most importantly: Right to Work states are not exempt from Unions! There is nowhere in the US that you don't have the right (unless exempt, but that's mostly gov't workers and public sector workers that have their own separate policy on the subject). No punishment can be stricken against you for looking into it or levying interest openly.
This is a very common talking point that shuts down the argument or even casual conversation before it can begin: This is a right to work state so we cant' have unions. That's wrong, and a confusion of Right To Work with At Will employment. Right to Work just means your state doesn't allow unions to require membership to be employed somewhere. At Will (which is all states save singularly Montana) means the employer can fire you for anything as long as it isn't illegal--which firing you for trying to unionize would be.
Unsure how unionization would work in Global...but wanted to point this out for anyone that may be misinformed. I know I have been most of my life.
Ive seen this posted before and almost nothing ever happens. People are too scared to unionize and some are still under propaganda that "unions are bad mmkay"
It is very disheartening. I think a union would be a great idea. The people at the top only think of themselves and united employees would be a beautiful thorn in their side.
