1. This is precisely why there are Unions.

If companies want to get rid of Unions they need to support regulations that would displace Unions in the same way that some European countries did. My German colleagues did not belong to a union, because the union did nothing, dues were a waste. Over time, the union protections became government employment law and company policy. Hence: no need for a Union.

I worked for a German company where firing an employee had exactly the same rules as my Union did as far as justification and fairness went.

This is a scam. The biggest problem unionized companies have is being able to control who gets hired.

As the manager of a shipyard once told me, "bad management makes for bad unions!"
