6. We had an election. Management ran a thorough anti-union campaign, and some really, really, ugly poo poo happened.


Can you expand on this?

I'd really like my workplace to unionize, for the benefit of the front line team who has been getting shafted. Since our new C-level boss started last July, we've had low morale, constant stress, hostile work environment, etc. Problem is, I'm a supervisor. What can or can't I do?

The only hard and fast rule is that no one can be in the union who has hiring/firing power over anyone else.

I 100% do not have the power to fire, but I do conduct interviews and "make recommendations" to HR for hiring. Am I cool?

My work has successfully met with union representatives and has began organizing. So far we have 7 people that have signed up and paid dues. Supposedly, once we hit double digits, we'll start to see some real poo poo...er change.
