I work in a union and this shit happens there too.
Unions are great and a bad union is better than no union (imo) but if people go into a union job thinking all the problems with modern work culture will be solved by it they'll just walk away jaded and disappointed.
Agreed. It's very helpful, and useful, but it doesn't turn work into some magic utopia. People are still people.
Yeah im unionized and realized that the union is there to keep the peace between the boss and workers, not actually do anything if the worker is being abused. Having said that, union all the way, i would take this shit over my old non union job any day
Right? Like at least I have SOME kind of defense.
In many situations the union is a good way to put more pressure on the boss. Yes, the boss can still do something shady, but the consequences are likely to be more significant.
Well it depends on the union and it depends on local laws. But some of them are international.
Unions don't prevent companies being crap in my experience but at a certain point they step in and yell at them for being crap. You still have to put up with HR being ridiculous, being incomprehensibly corrupt is practically part of the job description.
