Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration::Some tech workers questioned whether UPS drivers deserved high pay — others jumped in to note the importance of the jobs and harsh working conditions.
So I am in a “Right to Work” State and I have thought about this for a minute now… Given the support is there, how hard is it to start a union in a particular field/industry in a city? I have been in Tech and IT for the last +10 years and I while I havent met too many Union Deniers, no one seems to know why there is no Tech Unions out here. Is there a place I could reach out for guidance?
What is a right to work state?
You have the “Right to Work” for an employer without the burden of paying Union Dues if they’re a Union Shop. “Right to Work” sounds good to anyone who hasn’t read what it means. It’s a State-level union busting tactic to diminish unions by depriving dues.
Thanks
