In the United States, it is illegal to fire someone for joining a union or attempting to form a union. That being said, in most states employers are free to fire you for basically any other work-related reason, so they can fire you for that as long as they claim in communications with you that it's for a different reason. It's pretty easy to workaround and keep out unions. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So what they do is build a list of the tiniest of infractions then fire you.yeah this is where they get you. just about every job has requirements on paper that you can't reasonably be expected to do in reality -- it's mostly an idiosyncrasy of the way the system works, but they know how to exploit it. anyway, joining a union won't be all that effective on your own. get in touch with a local union and talk about unionizing your workplace. I can say from experience that it takes a whole lot of work, and that at times it can seem hopeless, but it's very much worth it once you really get the ball rolling --- http://error1355.com/ce/averagejoel.html ...

I guess I like unionization but less so the unions themselves. The big unions feel more like businesses in their own right rather than worker advocates. But workers using large scale bargaining power to negotiate better conditions for themselves is a good thing. --- Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right? ...

Listening to friends, it seems most are in the fraction of the a percent to like 2-3% tops.the SEIU (which I was in touch with when organizing my coworkers) takes 2% per paycheque, and it doesn't start coming off the pay until we actually start receiving the benefits of the union --- http://error1355.com/ce/averagejoel.html ...

Solid_Sonic posted... The big unions feel more like businesses in their own right rather than worker advocates.I recall during that John Deere strike a few years ago, plenty of workers were calling out the UAW saying they're more interested in glad handing in DC than they are representing workers. Specifically the whole strike started locally and they were just as pissed at the UAW as they were John Deere, because the UAW approved a shitty contract. Of course, even a few months later it was a bitch to find any article referencing that, whether that was by design or a product of the 24 hour news cycle is yours to debate. The UAW scrambled to get on top of that one and make sure they didn't look bad. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks ... Copied to Clipboard!

Legally, nothey'll underfund the store and prevent it from ensuring it is compliant with health and safety laws. then they will shut down the store for not complying with health and safety laws. all just to squash the union dead. Or they will pick 20 "random" stores to close due to similar concerns, and every store with a union will just coincidentally be one thats closed. ... Copied to Clipboard!
