My coworkers just found a post for an entry level position posted by our company on indeed for more money than we're all making after years in the exact same position. Everyone is pissed and the only woman is making $2,000 less than another male coworker with less experience! I'm pretty sure there are laws against that!
What do you think would be the best way for all of us to ask for a raise collectively? Inflation is up, you know and they blatantly have the money to pay more. Again this is an entry level position. I have ~3 years experience in my field and licenses that allow me to do specialized work.
Could someone please tell me how to form a union in practice? How confrontational does it have to be? I don't want to piss off half the people I work with off too. Who would have to join it for it to be effective?
I always hear about people joining big unions outside of their workplace. Like I worked with an electrician in the past who was the only member IBEW there. How does that work? Maybe he just liked unions and had the sweater, I don't know.
I'm watching all this bullshit with Starbucks and I don't want to get fired, ya know. I am a very anxious person. Also, I kinda like my life the way it is too and it is its a pretty laid-back place to work.
