I consider myself a leftist. I wanted some insight on my labor union’s internal disagreement. So, I thought asklemmygrad might be a good spot (bad idea).
After mentioning I’m an engineer, this guy explains that shooting highly educated people in the head is actually a good idea. I think its safe to say I’m not welcomed there.
I’m definitely not exploring new workplaces over this. Its the utility company that gives power to my house. On top of that, its a non-profit, public owned utility competing against neighboring investor owned utilities. I have good reason to want this workplace to succeed.
And while I may disagree with my coworkers in the field, they sort of earn their asshole mentality. They are hard workers. They work a very dangerous job. Our community would not function without their work. So yeah, nothing but respect for the work they do.
Be that as it may, I’m not sure it entitles an asshole mentality.
Regardless, a strong union is likely the only way these people can secure themselves the pay and benefits they deserve. A strong union knows the demands of its members at least. I wonder if you’d get realistic or honest answers ro what it would take for them to support their coworkers remote work capabilities.
