IT Unions no way
A Union is big business they are looking at keeping costs down and profits up. Most people who unionize a company fail to realize that the landscape they work in is going to change radically everyone will become an adversary with the company?s management, politics will now consume at least 10 percent of everyone?s time. Pay will only go as far as the industry standard is, because the company has to make money the biggest winner in Unionizing is the Unions. You will find that most union officials have little or no college and many of them never finished high school but they still manage to get paid well over 100 K a year. The employees medical insurance will get worse every year. Most of the retirement programs give scandalous returns if you leave early or die before retirement the union keeps all the money you paid in for all those years. If you want to work in the same place for the rest of your working life go ahead and join. Remember this Unions are parasites that survive onwhat they can hustle out of the members and the companies, at best they can be a tool in real bad situations but the tool needs to be maintained by the employees and 99percent will not do it.
The only reason that Unions were once powerful was that they worked at educating the employees and helped them get good contracts. The employees on the other hand were committed; they regularly attended meetings, went to work shops to learn how to enforce a contract, and worked hard to make the companyfollow it. People today will not do that they want to clock out and forget about work and they do just that.
