Fucking no strike clause, what the FUCK

Liberals are fucking moronic scum, we have no freedom, we have no rights, we are granted no provisions for our betterment or even protection or basic decision making

I will destroy this evil land, I will spill the blood of oppressors and free my fellow workers from their chains

I AM RISEN lenin-shining

My union had this whole fight about the field workers not wanting to advocate for something only the office workers would benefit from (remote work). They threw a whole stink about it and ended up letting management take it away without a fight. Office workers are pissed and we've had a couple quit over it.

Like what the fuck is the point of collective bargaining if you only bargain for things everyone benefits from?

A WIN FOR YOU IS A WIN FOR ME. CLASS SOLIDARITY, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Yup. Proud engineer and IBEW member here (its weird).

No yeah there are definitely unionized engineers, just wondering what the expectation was, cause a union advocating for non-union workers would be unusual but potentially cool

It's not super unusual in Healthcare, but nurses build their whole identity around care, so it makes sense.

It’s also not unusual in certain school districts. It’s bizarre how much variance there is in teachers’ unions in the United States, but the culture swings wildly, even between school districts that are like ten minutes apart from one another and have similar demographic info.
