    I do actually agree with his initial statement, which was “if my workers need a union to stay safe, I will consider it a personal failure.”

    …absolutely agreed. His conclusion of that his workers shouldn’t need one though, is the problem. They should have one. However, if the union needs to step in because he’s being a dick, then he has failed indeed. Guess it was a good thing they had a union though, right? Oh wait…

      We need an FOIA for employees. For example, if one employee thinks they’re getting paid less for their job than they should be, they should be able to request what somebody else is making and then be able to know she negotiate past that.

          And if they don’t want to give an employee something that another is getting, they have to be able to explain exactly whym
