I have no relation to the company, but I don't support unionization. The unionization in my mom's industry effectively locked her into her current employer with no hope of leaving. If she were to switch jobs, she'd have to start back at the beginning of the union pay sale and work her way back up over 10 years

Can you give details because it sounds extremely unlikely that a union would act to stop their members being able to get a new job that recognises their experience -- can't the companies employing those unionised workers just fire 10% every year and cut wages dramatically?

Can't you just leave the union, move jobs?

I'm guessing this is going to be one of those "I can't believe USA thinks it's a [good example of a] democracy moment"?!?

So, pics or it didn't happen??
