Unions boost wages for the non-union members; they are vital to workplace safety. Employees have been told for years there are dozens if not hundreds to replace them, so aren't these interesting developments? Employees are stakeholders not equipment and need representation.
I've worked both sides having been management and union at various stages. I left the workforce six years early and hated the corporation I worked for as a non-union employee. The CEO was busy buying up whatever he could and doing crap to boost stock value. You know, making sure he got his dividends and thereby a raise. I, on the other hand, was working my butt off and had not gotten a raise in 3 years. They constantly, and I mean every year, screwed with our insurance. I had a horrible schedule and crap bosses that left me in charge and didn't pay me for that either. I had hundreds of hours of sick pay I never used when I left, because I don't like to lie and someone would lose their day off if I called-in. I received no pay for that or even a "thank you, you are exceptionally reliable". Why did I stay at all? Simple-they paid for my pension plan. I get the last laugh once a month.
That CEO's incompetence led to the corporation being absorbed by another. He just testified during the Theranos trial because he managed to lose $367 million to a scam run by an immature con-artist. Maybe it was because they had something in common....greed and the willingness to exploit others. We need those unions!
