I worked at Wal Mart and would have loved to have had a union to help protect me from what I considered production harassment. I’ve worked union and I’ve worked non-union and the pay, benefits, and treatment have always been better where there was a union. When I’ve worked non-union, I’ve felt like a peon going up against Goliath when I’ve had a legitimate complaint. I know this is not everyone’s experience but it’s been mine.
Are you known among fellow employees as a complainer?
Just asking. I’ve known a few individuals through the years who viewed themselves and their constant complaining as heroic; while their fellow employees viewed them as pain in the ass troublemakers.
The Scottish poet Robert Burns, I believe, said: “Of all the gifts the Giftie gie is; to see ourselves as others see us.”
Merry Christmas
You would have loved a union that threatens your livelihood by shutting down the revenue stream of your employer from time to time... right
