Do you agree with the proposed Unionize small business? - samintx - 11-04-2008 http://theunionnews.blogspot.com/2008/10/dems-lets-unionize-us-small-businesses.html No more secret ballots? I can't imagine this will pass if our Congress is thinking. Re: Do you agree with the proposed Unionize small business? - will2000 - 11-04-2008 Unions have outlived their usefulness anyway, but to do away with secret ballots is ridiculous. Re: Do you agree with the proposed Unionize small business? - Sam3 - 11-04-2008 Unions exist nowadays to respond to bad managers. At least small unions like the one in our shop. Our union employees were fairly non-committal to the union, they accepted it because it was there. However, thanks to two bad managers, a few of the non-commital to moderatly anti-union members now have become die-hard union supporters. One guy, a died-in-the-wool Republican has become the steward of the union just because of the one manager who mistreats the employees. That is what I see the role of the union becoming, one to protect employees against bad managers and bad management. |
