One of the biggest selling points in applying to my last job was that it was made of different unions.
Every day, EVERY DAY, my co-workers would complain about our particular union.
-
How our union rep does not really rep us because he was a lawyer who worked for the same company. (confict of interest?)
-
A slew of requirements that ARE IN THE CONTRACT were never given to the staff and our big boss would not allow us to have.
-
This is the kicker, the union secretary, a co-worker of mine informed us that all the grieviences that were filed for the last two years were completely ignored.
Unions are great but some unions are better than others.
