Wait so any new hires after this deal was made would not be included? Wouldn’t new hires also be in the union?
That would seem like a pretty big deal if true.

That happens at McDonald’s. It never happens at strong union jobs. You fire a union worker, it has to be well documented, by the book, and for a damned good reason. There’s no chance of getting fired for bullshit reasons in something like a dock workers union. You also won’t be getting reduced hours.

I know unions, my dad was a union VP for over a decade. I’ve seen how companies can be shitty even if you have the union backing you.
