This fucks me off sooooooooo much; in NZ there are a lot of (a fuck of a lot) of roads that don’t have overtaking zones for a long way.
Getting an opportunity to overtake the slow prick you have been following for 20 minutes, just to have them speed up…forcing me to go faster than I’m comfortable with, then being in front and have them sitting on your arse for the next 10km, even though you are going faster than before you overtook them…FUCK OFF!!!
Unfortunately a union after the fact does nothing to help the workers.
Unions are great for ensuring that the profit from their labour; is fairly distributed.
If the company is unprofitable; forming a union to squeeze blood from a stone is not helpful. It will just hasten the demise. These tariffs, as others have pointed out are probably making their fixed term contracts into money losers…We don’t have all the data, but it is quite likely.
And from a personal point of view, smaller companies tend to care more than big ones…I’ve worked in both. Being 1 of 5 is great, being 1 of 15,000 not so much.
