You'll get a lot more salary with Unions...

As a Single Mother With Two Children I am afraid that the Union will be bad, aktuly. Are you disagreeing with me? You simply don't understand what its like to be a Single Mother With Two Children. Why are you attacking me? I am a simple Single Mother With Two Children who is too weak and tired to argue with you.

As a Single Mother With Two Children I am just asking questions about why the Union is bad and now you, a big Pro-Union Thug, are hurting me and my Two Children who are very small and vulnerable.

Stop! Please! Help! The Union is Hurting Me! It's just as I anticipated!

I was part of a union. I got paid minum wage. My manager was the union rep. I had to work a role that I was literally allergic to.

Despite this, I'm still pro-union. Just not that particular union.

My manager was the union rep

I'm like 80% certain that's illegal basically everywhere innit? Conflict of interest

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure it was very illegal, and nobody did a thing about it.

In my union, reps have to be put up for vote every three years, and if even after that you still don't like them, you have the option to go straight to your FTO.

They may also be using the term manager very loosely. At my workplace most of the supervisors are union, but they have 1 top person at each department of each worksite who's excluded from the union (not really management, but a company representative at least).

I've never heard of management being in the same bargaining unit as the rank and file. Odd.
