Reply to comment by Bonez718 in Activision's Boston studio workers announce unionization by No-Drawing-6975

Go on strike let us know how much that union is going to pay you to picket? It’s Pennie’s compared to actual pay. You have no power.

You don’t think they have people to bring in and do the work? It’s called contingency planning. All companies have it that are involved with unions.

No, I don't.

Especially at a skilled job.

Odd I was in a union for 13.5 years and they had contingency plans each year for each job type that was up for negotiations. You don’t think the people they are using are “skilled” enough? They have already replaced McDonald’s workers with kiosks, and the employees that are preparing the food STILL mess it up. Vehicles that are produced by union workers mess up, some are recalled , some fail inspection because that “ skilled” worker didn’t do something right. So just how skilled does someone need to be?

I’ve seen some of the shittiest work ethic people get defended by the Union , and still got to keep their job. So does that job require a “skilled” worker?

You're confusing competency with skill and in so doing, confusing the issue.

Unions are no more evil nor repugnant than corporations. If we are to have one, we should have the other.

Thanks for the negative karma guys! Truly means a lot. How dare someone have a counter argument.
