I would be worried the Union management isn't corrupt though.
That's something to worry about in every arena that involves money, not just unions. It's just a fact of life that there are crooks and liars in the world.
That's true. I think that's just what I'm trying to say. Unions are best for most jobs but are not great for all jobs. And they do have s lot of problems younger people might not realize. Some unions are bad for stiffing younger members giving work to older more experienced guys while younger guys pay the same dues. They can become the same shit different structure. So I'm not saying don't unionize. But I am saying make sure the union serves its members and does not become just another thing that fucks you.
In the end I prefer things like cooperatives over unions but we're a long way from there. But they also suffer the same old boys club. In the end I think we overlook that we're all just evil corporation's without power and money. In the end we should look at the culture itself because there's a reason corruption is king
From the other side: I'm pro-union, but at my workplace I'm management.
One of the guys on my crew is terrible at his job. Just awful. Everyone hates working with him, he doesn't get anything done on time, he's either stupid or willfully ignorant, the list goes on and on.
The union, however, has negotiated that I can't action for productivity. It literally doesn't matter how badly he does his job, as long as he's in his spot and something is happening, I can't do anything. On top of that, this guy has seniority over most of the other guys on the crew, so I can't even give him less hours without cutting the people who actually get shit done.
It's incredibly frustrating, and the only thing I can do is watch his attendance like a hawk in the hopes I can get rid of him for being late one too many times.
