That’s not true at all, you’re clearly not in the US if you think that. It’s also not true that open shops all get fucked. Don’t be ignorant. I got a handful of buddies that work for open shops that get paid more than I do, and have better benefits. I get some perks they don’t clearly, but even with that figured out by the math, some of them do better. All comes down to the company behind it and whether they’re smart enough to give a shit and realize their working are important, or whether they’re shitbags and need a leash on them.
Thankfully I’m not in the US, you are correct.
You may know people who are paid more than a union equivalent, that’s the choice of the company. But a union will always help the little guy as has been shown time and time again throughout the world.
Employers paying above and beyond is not the norm, it’s not even the minority. It’s a scarcity. To say what you said above like you shouldn’t unionise because everyone isn’t a cunt, is a very poor view given to you and now you’re propagating their misinformation.
No, its not. That may be the case in your country, but not this one. Unions here are way more about benefits and better working conditions as a whole, some companies pay more, some less. Union jobs here aren’t a guarantee of more money. The profession to top rate is steady, which is good, but theirs open shops here that start people out at higher than other companies top out rates.
Understand that what you know in your country doesnt apply everywhere.
At no point did I say that. Why would I tell somebody not to Unioinize? Dont put words in my mouth.
