Amazing how employees can immediately join together in collective action to force an entire board to resign in the interests of their CEO (I’m talking about OpenAI), but as soon as it’s about their own interests that’s absurd and naive. #union
It was easier because Microsoft had a budget and were willing to guarantee that those employees would get paid no matter what. If Unions were better funded they could guarantee the same.
Dues would go alot farther too if union employees had a cap based on average member salaries. There is zero reason for union executives to be living a different lifestyle from the people they represent.

How do you better fund unions besides raising dues?
By getting the dues matched by the government. Go march for that✊
Percentage-based dues would naturally go up with wage increases. In some countries unions receive government subsidies though
In my country I can sunstract union dues from my taxes

Get the employees higher salary, and take a cut out of that
