Everything from IT Workers to Managers to Commercial Sex Workers

All jobs should be unionized

[Recovered Repug]

5. Not sure about the sex workers.

Isn't there a joke about a union whorehouse?

[Taverner]

13. San Francisco has unionized prostitutes nt

[Initech]

6. If I could join a union I would in half a second!

[Taverner]

11. Are you in IT? I am - we should have unionized years ago

[Initech]

15. I sort of am.

I work in administration for my company and it's been seriously disappointing especially in the last year. Being in a union would make things a lot better for me.

[Taverner]

17. It would make things a lot better for all of us

Including sales, sales engineering and management

[RKP5637]

7. Yep! We should follow the examples of Germany, they seem successful with

unions/management working together.

8. DITTO, DITTO, DITTO.

[Taverner]

12. ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE and ORGANIZE!

[Fumesucker]

9. Yes, everyone should be forced to join a union..

Particularly those who work for themselves.

[Taverner]

10. You do belong to a union - only it's called a syndicate

[Fumesucker]

21. ?

[Taverner]

25. Do you ever meet others who share your occupation, even if self-employed...

I am not talking in general, but do they have conferences for your particular industry?

You see if you you are a worker, you have not - yeah, it's "allowed" technically

but it's not exactly encouraged









When it comes to your business, however, it is not only encouraged, it is required



We workers don't have that

[Fumesucker]

34. I've certainly never heard of an organization for JOATs..

Although I do meet them from time to time it is hardly in anything one would normally consider a formal setting, more like sitting under the shade-tree and chatting for a bit over a social lubricant or two.

14. you're entitled to your opinion n/t

[TeamsterDem]

16. Well, all jobs in which the majority want one, yes

I'd never be in favor of requiring unionization. All I'd like to see is the FREE AND FAIR mechanisms to allow those who want one to actually get one. Otherwise we become Scott Walker in reverse. An asshole turned inside out is still an asshole ... apologizing for that imagery.

[ZombieHorde]

18. I don't know if small, family-owned businesses should be unionized.

I don't think anyone would benefit from that.

[Little Star]

19. I'll agree with that! k&r

[itsallhappening]

20. Having the option is what we need. Not forced or denied one way or the other.

[ThomWV]

22. Hell Yes! K&R

[Proles]

23. Recced for the sentiment, but I'd be skeptical of

requiring unions for everything.

If the employees are happy with the way things are, then a union isn't exactly neccesary.

As someone aboved me said, as long as there's a fair way of voting in unions for those who want them, then that would be quite sufficient in my opinion,

[Taverner]

24. Screw "require" - I'm for "allow"

And in many scenarios, they are not allowed

[frogmarch]

26. Yes, all jobs should be unionized!

I posted this pic on Facebook for all my Fb friends to see. It will probably lose me a few more, but I don't want anti-union republican friends anyway, not even on Fb.

[glowing]

27. Yes, they should.

[TBF]

28. Another kick for this pro-labor post -

:kick:

[mwooldri]

29. Everybody should have the opportunity to join a union.

We just need one simple law:

"If an individual joins a union, the individual's employer is required to allow a union representative to assist and represent the employee in negotiating employment conditions and in disciplinary matters".

It therefore does not matter whether the whole workforce, or just one employee, wants to join a union. The possibility is there, and in some cases to have multi union representation within a company.

Of course, union representation is more effective when a significant number of the workforce join up under the same union, and better if it is a majority.

30. Pro-Labor K&R

[Fearless]

31. K&R!

[demwing]

32. What about a National Citizen's Union?

why should organization be limited to our employment?

[sfpcjock]

33. And would have a chance of being unionized if we had a Congress

that would pass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_check">majority sign-up. :)
