I’ve never heard of management being in the same bargaining unit as the rank and file.
Comment on As a human, here is my human take on unions
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 months agoI was part of a union. I got paid minum wage. My manager was the union rep. I had to work a role that I was literally allergic to.
Despite this, I’m still pro-union. Just not that particular union.

I’m like 80% certain that’s illegal basically everywhere innit? Conflict of interest

I’m sure it was very illegal, and nobody did a thing about it.

In my union, reps have to be put up for vote every three years, and if even after that you still don’t like them, you have the option to go straight to your FTO.

They may also be using the term manager very loosely. At my workplace most of the supervisors are union, but they have 1 top person at each department of each worksite who’s excluded from the union (not really management, but a company representative at least).
