I'm always one to simplify things I don't understand, much to the frustration of the people involved in the issue at hand. However, I find the simplified version often makes a lot more sense. So please correct me if I'm wrong here.
I have an office job for which I don't have a 'union' representing me. If I don't like the way they treat me, my pay or any other aspect of my job I have two choices. Stay or leave.
Why then, do employees who are members of unions have a third option - strike? In my simplistic view of the world - you either put up or shut up. Vote with your feet - leave if you don't like it. Surely if you leave you are employable somewhere else, and if not, that's not your employer's fault is it? That's down to your career choice - and choice is something we all have.
About Me
- Norbert Panhandle
- Like many people, I have thoughts, questions, opinions and ramblings filling up my head. I have had an urge to share my pointless (and sometimes not so pointless) mutterings with the folks on the Interweb for quite sometime now. I have finally got round to doing it. Feel free to enjoy, question, take offence or ignore me completely. Any of the above will leave me truly satisfied.
