I think you’re underestimating what people (including yourself) are willing to put up with when you’re actually in that position.

I think all workers deserve a union that gets them all they can get. The problem is that unions are the workers. Organising labour has been a struggle for decades. I just hope hearing about things like this invites others to take note and organise their workplace too.

People using “honesty” as a veneer to be brutal aren’t the same as people that are genuinely honest.
