Spread the word and they’ll try to get rid of you. Negotiate for yourself. Not everyone is worth more and some people actually prefer to stay on government subsidies like SNAP, and HEAP.
Negotiate alone with what leverage? We are all replaceable. As soon as they figure out it’s just you, they will fire you and pick someone else from the hundreds of thousands who have an equivalent skill set.
If you can’t negotiate your pay in a non-union job, then you’re not worth more pay and you should stop deceiving yourself.
You mention ‘skill set’. There are far more valuable qualities to employees like reliability, dedication, how well liked you are, etc etc. Somone not realizing this indicates a lack of value as an employee.
Yeah, all those qualities are a basic requirement to get a job. I have never worked with someone who didn’t have those qualities. There not something you can leverage to get a raise.
They lead to higher wages, job security, better benefits, and better PTO/sick days. In every respect, in general, a union job is better for the worker than a non union job.
Then negotiate. But don’t do anything to make the negotiation favorable to you and don’t do anything to prevent the other party from making the negotiation favorable to them.
Wtf do you think negotiation is?
This opinion is cousin to “then vote with your wallet, but if you boycott anything then you’re woke”
And sibling to “the free market is best, except people shouldn’t be free to organize against corporations”

Absolute braindead take. Spoken like a nepobaby or a child who has never worked.

Negotiation almost de facto requires group effort, or a union. The only time negotiation works outside of that is edge cases.

Unions only help themselves. If you failed at negotiating; you over value yourself.
