A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

It is soo good. A tech company i just got offer from. In their onboarding app, they let me join the union on the first day.

This is what you see in the company with strong union.

When my job unionized (it was through an amalgamation), my union immediately fired a grievance against the managers that got amalgamated who did some shady shit, and I got a 2500 dollar payout, and they got told to quit/retire or be fired, so they did. Everyone needs a union.

Canada just had legislation go into aff3ect every 5 hours needs a 30 min break. A pro worker move!

But my shift is 10 hours and the company pettily tacked on the extra half hour unpaid. They get no extra work from me, just forced to sit at the end.

Unions fighting it, speaking even to the Labour Minister. I like unions.
