When did the workplace switch to being unionized labor? |
A few years ago, some new member of management stood before us and said "You guys are all getting substantial raises. Depending on which area you work in some will get bigger raises than others but nobody is going to lose money." When the time came, we were all given our raises.
$0.00
It turns out the guy wasn't authorized to make such an announcement.
Things only escalated when new employees came in making as much as people who had been there for years. People were saying "This is the last straw".
Personally, while it was unfair, my stance was this: If somebody comes in making as much money as I do, what have I lost? If I'm paying $50+ a month to keep someone from making as much money as I do, what have I lost?
In any event, the Union got voted in so I joined it. It hasn't benefited me at all but I still pay dues. In some ways, it's actually hurt me.
