Unionizing can be about more than just wrestling money away from our employer. We could have a lot more influence over the direction of the company. Yall love to leave all the decision making to these out of touch execs and when they drive the business to the ground and layoffs start you whine and moan! In your next role, I hope you stop being a nay saying individualist parrot and actually start appreciating the power between you and the people you work alongside with!

@a6 No one is saying union workers are immune to layoffs! That’s delusional! And it’s so funny you think you are doing something by pointing this out! It’s about making it more difficult for them to get rid of us! If you really don’t think you could work with your peers to protect each other, I hope you have fun living alone and dying alone!
I always felt like those yearly leader “trainings” on how NOT to unionize were weird.
@a4 sounds like you’re trying to scare folks into not talking about unionizing. Funny how Comms made a post today only after unionizing was mentioned yesterday. Every corporation’s fear: fair employment treatment.
Union employees still get laid off, just ask anyone that has ever worked for Verizon / Bell Atlantic
I am for unionizing.
I am against every other post on this board being about unions, especially given what we are goin thru right now.
If you read site rules, there is a blurb on repetitious and excessive posting, if you push it too much the mods tend to (a) Ban IPs and (b) delete all posted content by the IP.
It'd be pity to see the mountain of content you wrote disappear with one mod action.
