@bvibber@wikis.world My dad was a firefighter who viewed unions as a necessary evil -- you have to pay dues and have a new level of social headaches, but they protect you from so much worse.
My attitude is that every manager, up and down the chain, has the job of preventing their employees from NEEDING a union. Treat everyone fairly, pay them well, don't favor in-groups over out-groups, and listen to their concerns. If you fail to do that, then unionization is the necessary result because management has failed at their jobs.

@linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io @bvibber@wikis.world Unions are required because the peter principle is a real thing.
