So I'm lying for fancy Internet points? How fucking dumb are you?

I speak my experience. Take it or don't. I don't care if you want to hear it or not. Union reps are just employees with different departments. They do not represent the workers. They represent the companies and only posture with egregious abuses of powers.

They hold zero weight in leverage. Simply because they cannot effect change. They no longer can intimidate or change management's goals. It's an archaic use of power. Management can find reasons and hire someone cheaper.

I absolutely don't think it's right. But it's what the unions are in any capacity that I have experienced.
