04.05.26 | Hell yeah! Union Strong bud. I'm in a CWA unit currently but before that tried unionizing a different workplace and was separately a dues paying member of the IWW for years. |

04.05.26 | It’s more that I’ve always associated unions with hard labor and wish I had gone that route. Nothing more fun than getting paid for working on stuff like plumbing or boilers. I just do that shit at home for fun |

04.05.26 | Unions are for everyone, agreed! I work a computer job mostly from home but it's still nice having a union protection, even though the place where I work is generally pretty non-exploitative |

04.05.26 | Yeah unions being just for laborers is kind of a thing of the past. They're really for any business that has any kind of power structure.

no thankfully, i just meant if i could go back in time i'd probably get into the trades like plumbing or something. working on as well as buying and selling cars is my predominant hobby. i've been trying my hand at welding and stuff in the garage letely. i actually have degrees in education, lit, and political science. i also minored in econ. i do absolutely nothing with those degrees anymore albeit my econ background has been pretty helpful! |

04.05.26 | Customer service manager at Kroger, so yeah, union.
I'd rather have it than not, but where our district is spread across three right to work states, membership is low, and less than 25% of the district's employee base has voted on the last two contracts. It's give and take. Good LOA policies, decent enough pay and benefits, and anyone who puts in five years is guaranteed a pension. There's always this sense that it could be significantly better, and that the union leadership does the bare minimum.
The major downside as a manager too, is that it's damn near impossible to fire someone once they've gotten past the probation period short of someone stealing on camera or walking out. |

04.05.26 | I do not live in a right-to-work state and I'm kind of thankful for it because there are a lot of people where I work who hate the union and take their protections for granted. I'm not confident that we would be able to consistently re-certify.
"it's damn near impossible to fire someone once they've gotten past the probation period short of someone stealing on camera or walking out."
That's a good thing though. Job protection! But if you're a manager who is simultaneously in the union then I could see how this could be a conflicting problem.
