But knowing how shitty companies are they’ll likely make some excuse to fire people before they get close to their 6 year maximum. It’s similar to how fast food places avoid hiring someone full time by scheduling them for 35 hours a week instead of 40.
That happens at McDonald’s. It never happens at strong union jobs. You fire a union worker, it has to be well documented, by the book, and for a damned good reason. There’s no chance of getting fired for bullshit reasons in something like a dock workers union. You also won’t be getting reduced hours.
My wife worked at a grocery store and as i heard their union boss golfed with the CEO of the grocery chain… as i understand it that was HR masquerading as a union, by the time she left it sure was acting the part too

I know unions, my dad was a union VP for over a decade. I’ve seen how companies can be shitty even if you have the union backing you.

Wait so any new hires after this deal was made would not be included? Wouldn’t new hires also be in the union?
That would seem like a pretty big deal if true.
