Also, sometimes you can avoid going through a lengthy unionizing process by simply purchasing the business from your employer and converting ir to a co-operative. Union co-ops are good too but usually not necessary. Most states have a 'Cooperative Development Center' in the region that you can contact for more information. Obviously this doesn't help of you work at Amazon, but if you work at a regio al equipment manufacturing firm owned by some boomer on the edge of retirement it is probably worth your while to explore the option and potentially make an offer before they sell to some larger firm looking to consolidate or just resite production because tax rates are marginally lower in Idaho or whatever. (Full disclosure: I work at a co-op development center.)

shovelbum posted:Making people show up and throw in for jobs in person can be a surprisingly great way to handle things for a union job bc it balances doing stuff fairly by seniority with letting the young and hungry guys have something they can do (hang around constantly) to get their foot in the door Oh for sure, I'd never have gotten any hours if it didn't work like that (didn't keep at it long enough to get my card though).

How many times a day do you say 'union' and what makes you say it?
