jmcs,

Is union life for you?

It depends. Probably yes, unless your employer pulls shit like this, in which case you should have joined yesterday

LastYearsPumpkin,

Yup, if your employer is so dedicated to making sure you don’t join a union that they make posters about it, then you definitely need to join a union.

BonesOfTheMoon,

My union dues last pay? 30 dollars. My union just got the government of Ontario, the shitbag conservatives, who tried to illegally withhold raises from us, and won. My union guarantees I get a set wage because they bargain for it.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

My wife’s union costs her $8 a paycheck.

It also gave her 9 more PTO days, better healthcare, and negotiated to triple any outside-of-work calls because the company used to do a thing where they would send you home, and then call you back later. Wtf.

bcron,

No guarantees on pay, benefits or work rules.>

Union job in an at-will state: well-defined step-based just cause system for disciplinary action.

Non-union job in an at-will state: Your boss doesn’t like a mole on your face, “bad culture fit”.

EnderMB,

Given how big a shitshow Amazon is, both in fulfillment and corporate, I’m shocked that they weren’t the first tech company to fully unionise.

Well, I say that knowing that there are lots of people that are extremely anti-union, even those that have suffered due to RTO/RTT, or Amazon’s infamous PIP culture.

And I say this knowing that Amazon workers could happily form a union with 250k workers, and Amazon would happily fire them without a thought, even if it actively harmed them.

MTLion3,

Always love it when the people in charge know something is bad for THEM but good for US and they just throw a tasteful graphic spouting some bullshit on a page to change minds. They did this in Columbus about Issue 1 like a month ago, saying how upping the Majority Vote to 60% for state bills was just a good thing, even though it was just to prepare for issue 1 in November to repeal backwards ass Abortion Laws. It was obvious too since it was like all the pamphlet talked about

Surprised this brazenly says to vote no. Usually telling people how to vote is the line they dance around with all the negative “facts”

BobVersionFour,

All big company are the same i worked for wal-mart canada for way too long and the simple rumors of the word Union in a manager ears would bring paper like this on the breakroom table and sometimes even a little video on why union are the reason of everything evil in the world even the end of dinosaurs.

Typical Amazon… I hope American workers are smarter than this and don’t fall for it.

This makes me want to re-watch the based as fuck Deep Space Nine episode (Bar Association) where Quark's bar staff go on strike.

I easily can imagine someone facing a wall and pissing in a bottle while looking at this poster.

cley_faye,

In a world were people will gladly vote to put in position of power the same guy that trampled on them, it is not that surprising that people will root for the company that is drying them out to discard them faster.

Sadly.

GamerBoy705,

This is not mildly infuriating, this is extremely infuriating
