my tech department recently unionized, its great
one of the best things about it is enforcing the "other duties as required" and setting a hard limit on what that means, management has to accept it and they hate that shit
Do they have to accept it by law? I'm realizing I don't really understand how unions work. What is it that actually transfers the power from the company to the workers just by unionizing?
Laws obv vary by country, but in the US, a corporation is legally required to recognize and bargain with a union if over 30% of their employees choose to unionize.
For now, until Trump decides to make unions illegal
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Let's hope not, but considering he's licking Elon's toes I'm imagining it wouldn't be an impossibility. You would think it would be political suicide to do so, though. 😅
Thanks! 🙏
