[QUOTE="Lazvon, post: 8822913, member: 33782"] Um. Those eat into profits, thus calling into question viability of the company. Hence why Union or not in my mind, means so much. Didn’t say that. Folks who want benefits of union, even if potentially means the company shuts down, should ask for part time work so they can go get their monetary and other benefits net. Again, if the company is profitable enough - absolutely provide for these things directly to the employees. If not, and the employee wants the discounts/industry “experience” or whatever drive them to seek employment in this retail/warehouse… then they can either force it to close (not enough profit for owner(s) by unionizing, or figure out how to make it work for themselves to work there. Yes, 1.5x base rate over 40 unless exempt for that type of job. Holiday/weekend/shift hours if not over 40, all standard rate. Swapping for more hours voluntarily not covered if I remember correctly. All those extra things a Union could help with along with dismissal policies, advancement opportunities, tenure based dismissals, whatever they can dream up that made them feel they needed a union. Almost every single thing they likely want though, will decrease profits the owner(s) are taking… thus risking the viability of the business for the owner, thus risking closure - and no job. Ummm, win? Again, don’t know the situation. They have to decide for themselves. I am neither for or against them unionizing without further data as to the impacts to the viability of the business. And I don’t work there anyways so have no voice other than hoping NKG can survive so I can conduct commerce with them. I also wouldn’t work there unless something drastically changes in my life (good - can retire today, or bad - no longer employable in current career). [/QUOTE]
