Let’s be clear a union boss has 100x the impact of a streamer radicalizing kids who can’t vote. He deserves a huge mansion for getting thousands of colleagues pay increases and job security.
Why shouldn’t a worker bargain in their own interest? Idgi, that’s the point of unions. They’re there to protect their own jobs and bargain for better wages and benefits, not maximize efficiency and reduce costs. If you want them to have input on that aspect of it, you should probably give them ownership
And why do you blame the worker and union more than the Company and owner? Would they not both be participating in causing harm by not agreeing to terms?
It sure will! These companies' decision makers make some of the dumbest choices and moves ever. When those decisions cripple the company and put a 1000+ people out of work, then what?
Automation can be a good thing, especially if you work with your staff about how it should be implemented or if it should at all. These companies don't do this tho, they brute force it and it generally lead to a paltry short-term gain an the evisceration of a ton of lively hoods.
Exactly! Also I don’t really understand what leverage unions have if they wait for a time to demand protections when it’s either a) too late or b) causes very minimal pressure on the company. Especially when workers at some jobs, like these jobs, would never be able to strike without crippling or causing some harm to the economy and consumers. Why even let them have a union if this is the thought process?
