Inb4 it was a test and you’re immediately fired.

They take phishing test so seriously that if you fail not only do you get fired, but you are also part of a union

So really you’re just on admin leave or a PIP.

This is most often an effect of collective bargaining between unions and the company, not their gesture of goodwill. Teleperformance, a massive global shared service was recently forced to do that by Uni Global Union.

No, you’re not supposed to go beyond 80%. Fire that fool immediately. /s

Only time this hasn’t happened to me in my “career” years was employment with US companies. But they still had enterprise agreements approved by the government ensuring we didn’t end up like…well…US citizens

I like to tell Libertarian types that even if European systems aren’t perfect they still have material results. If they want people to buy into their Austrian mindset they need to deliver more to get votes to further de regulate. Fortunately corporations short term thinking means that ideology will never have popular good will.

So you’re working at E-corp and they want to sign you up for the F-society?

I got a job once that required me to join the union. It was bagging groceries part time for minimum wage at a grocery store. Sorry I don’t mean to be a downer, I see union membership as a good thing. Unions are like democracy. They are only as good as the people they are made of.

I’m sure the union rep made it sound like you must, but I wonder if you were actually required. The major US grocery chain I worked for, the union shoved themselves down your throat but it was NOT required. It felt to me that their negotiations amounted more to collusion than actually fighting for the workers. I hope they’re the weakest union in the history of the world and that they don’t all suck as badly.

It depends on the state. Some states don’t have right to work laws, meaning that you can be forced to join a union to work a certain job. Unions are great ideas but some of them really do suck. My ex was sexually harassed repeatedly by her manager at a grocery store and the union reps told her to take a compliment and quit complaining.

Unions are only as good as the workers are willing to work together to make them

lightnsfw ,

Why tf would you ever join a union for a minimum wage? What are they even doing for you in that case beside making you actually make less than minimum wage now after you pay your dues.

They made it easy for you, they didn’t let you.

tehmics ,

They let him use the app to do so. This is needlessly pedantic

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

I disagree that it was needless due to how many people don’t understand that they have a right to join or form a union. The fact that it can be read as either providing an opportunity or as the company granting permission seemed like the perfect opportunity to reinforce the importance of seeing unions as a right.

dharmacurious ,

Not disagreeing with you, unionization is a right and needs to be treated as such, including in the language we use around it. But don’t some unions not allow you to join immediately? Like you have to work there 30 days or something first? That’s how I read this

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

That is not disagreement since it is another example. As you pointed out, the union is the one who makes those decisions, not the company.

No joke, I see this becoming more common. They’re even doing it the way I imagined: straight up integrated with onboarding.

Maybe it’s an outspoken prediction, that in the future many more businesses will prefer a unionized workforce, but I think a number of current societal and market vectors would suggest that trend. In particular, consider the variety of HR-related logistics, liabilities, and relational concerns of a modern business that amount to operational overhead. You can likely imagine ways that unions might simplify, stabilize, or fully externalize that friction, such that the increased productivity outweighs higher labor expenses, similar to the way efficiency wages in labor economics can ultimately reduce turnover related expenses. That’s just one way unions could become an attractive solution to employers and employees alike.

At any rate, it’s what I would prefer if I needed to hire W2s, to the extent that I’d be willing to help spin up local chapters if necessary, and it only takes a handful of successful examples to accelerate labor trends.

Unions have long made businesses run better. They don’t fight unionization efforts because of profit. They do it because of control.

wintermute_oregon ,

That’s pretty slick. What country ?

GhostTheToast ,

If I may ask, what company?

Hell yeah

Love unions! Everyone in my family was union, or currently is.
