IBM workers tried to unionize but it did most were not interested. What happened, in order to boost stock price, IBM retroactively set a cut off date for existing workers and canceled their retirement pension. Pensions which allowed some to accept the low pay knowing it was worth it with the company pension.

Take your anti-union, anti-American worker propaganda and shove it! You're nothing but a paid Union Buster. Don't you dare spread your misinformation and scare tactics with me. You get paid big bucks (real nice cost cutting by the way. /s) to be on here trolling and spouting anti-union propaganda. And, that is correct-when the C Suite execs are mostly X - McKinsey consultants it's not very hard to put it all together. I hope you're anti-union, anti-American workers strike back with a class action lawsuits.
Seth Goldstein is a clear winner against Amazon. The very anti-American worker and Union Busters lost-LOSERS! Seth did it Pro Bono with a team of 90 hungry law students.
We have an excellent group of lawyers in the capital region and National / local tier 1 employment law, litigation, labor law, group of lawyers here too like these guys Bond, Schoeneck & King PLLC.
I'm sure there are plenty of capable and hungry lawyers out there.
Go ahead make my day.
Next!
Enough with the "C-suite", we get it, you learned a new word. You're just like that fool who posted the warn act tripe on ever thread. Just go away and bother other folks with your new word of the day.
@1moy the attrition rate isn't high and people aren't leaving for better paying jobs. Definitely not.
Fab 1 in Dresden has unions.
And a "workers council" which is extremely powerful and supports all employees.
@1moy they can and will if they're forced to. Are you trying to say that their labor isn't valuable? Why has GF had to provide so many off-cycle incremental raises if it's not?
Look at what GF has posted for Q322 YTD compared to 2021 for the same period (+1b gross profit, we can look further down the P&L if you want). Tell me if that's a company that can't weather what they call softening demand, and even in their own words expect to last only through EARLY 2023.
Given their struggle obtaining and retaining talent, it's very shortsighted if they plan to replace this labor in the US, or as many suspect, market conditions are just an excuse to further offshore (not outsource) more jobs
The Anti-union crows are spouting their scare tactics! How very pro-corporate and anti-American you people are. Must be lawyers or the X-McKinsey consultants that now work the C-suite.
Google is your friend.
It's funny how cops need the union to protect them from abusing the public and breaking the law. Even funnier how most of these other "professions" you mention comprise a labor pool not capable of thinking for themselves. If these overworked techs want more money, they can take their indispensable skills somewhere else. You're only paid what you're worth.
It's funny how folks have no problem with unions for cops and other well paid profession but not for the $20+/hour over worked techs.
Hypocrites
Because unions only benefit those already at the top of the union chain.
I worked at GE for years. Yes some thing were beneficial but I also had tenure. The new people and newer generation of workers is not capable of working in a union. They barely want to come to work as it is.
All these drones screaming for a walkout, or protest. Do it, I dare you. See what happens when you poke the tiger with your little stunts.. How fast do you think fab8 would pack up and relocate to Asia if the cancer know as the union were to take hold?
The paid union agitators posting on this site could care less about you, just the money you can pay into their racket.
We should still walk out in protest or strike soon - wasnt someone organizing this? What date did they select?
Unions don’t give you immunity from Layoffs. Most union jobs are for trades, skilled and unskilled labor where competition isn’t present between employees given the limited common skill set requirements. Think of the big auto unions, did they keep the jobs from heading to Mexico or Canada? Nope
People tend to take pride in themselves, and reserve their dignity, rather than pay some fat union boss a participation fee and still end up with the same results: a layoff.
