Comment on Ask HN: Would You Unionize for WFH?

Comments

No, I was a member of, and worked with a number of unions in heavy industry. After that experience I would never join or work with another union.

Unions can be quite useless. No strike clauses can make them basically a paid extension of management.

I'm not suggesting that this would be an existing union.

It might be a wholly new single issue union.

But I hear ya. I've been in useless unions

No strike clauses can make them basically a paid extension of management.

No strike clauses (almost invariably paired with no lockout clauses, and invariably also tied to the term of the broader contract) do not make unions basically a paid extension of management.

I beg to differ
