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

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

I mean, the field guys have a point. They would also love to work from home, but they don't have that option. So what is on the table for them in these negotiations?

A good union should be advocating for the entire unit, particularly when everyone is expected to stick their necks out at once. Talk about better hazard pay or overtime or sick leave as part of the negotiation package. It can't just be field workers taking the hit in the name of "solidarity" when the office workers aren't reciprocating.

A WIN FOR YOU IS A WIN FOR ME.

Make the implicit explicit and negotiation for benefits across the entire unit.

Literally everything you'd expect. Better pay, better retirement, more PTO, more vacation, more budget for safety equipment, etc.

We weren't going out of our way to only cater to one group and forget about everything else. We just wanted to add one thing into the negotiation bundle.

A lack of political training resulting in passively absorbed crab bucket mentality.
