Unions

I support the right of labor to organize in most cases, but I urge caution to those who approve of the meme here: Be careful what you wish for.

I had just over 100 employees at a certain point in my career managing a marketing services agency.  The subject of unionization never came up, as it was never implemented in our industry, and I paid my people well, with significant bonuses, even if that weren’t the case.

Trust me, these people didn’t want to send me up a tree in terror, desperately looking for a way to reduce head-count. They wanted me on my game, excited to travel the globe, bringing home huge projects that would be lucrative for the entire team to deliver.
