It is clear that usaa has lost some major benefits the past few year and lacks others.

It would be a fight to unionize, though I am inclined to favor the idea. But someone mentioned CWA. I would say no, based on what I've heard from former AT&T employees. A lot of turnover there with no apparent support from the union. I would suggest the Teamsters, as it is not limited to trucking, etc. Plus we might get a trucker or two joining us on the picket line, and throwing a brick or two at executives' cars as they come to work.
This is a good place to start the process

I don’t think anyone will ever try. It would take a significant amount of people to even be on board. I don’t think there would be enough people even interested in doing this. Unions don’t really belong in banking. I haven’t heard of one in banking before. USAA is not a large company either.
It should happen, but it would take someone with nothing to lose to get that process started. A few years back (2017), a guy on my team asked what it would take to start the process. Few days later he had a sit down with HR and basically put the fear of God in him for talking about Unionization. He eventually quit in 2018 and left to become a UPS driver making $90k a year.

Senior "leadership" is doing a good job of that on their own bud.
I remember one time a group of phone based employees JOKED about starting a union and the next day, they were all called into an interview with Hr individually. Then, the group was involved in an Hr tribunal and were all explicitly told that any serious talk of unionizing would not be tolerated and the employees involved would be fired. It was frightening and intimidating.
Because in the end, a union would collectively bargain our jobs directly to India.
No way. Unnecessarily increases costs, headaches, and the entitled mentality that exists. There is no benefit unless you are an un-driven individual who wants the world catered to them. You just want to be an order taker, and do only what is in your box. Start the down vote, id--ts!! Each one proves my point.
Yeah, not going to response Express News. Nice try....
They fear this more than anything. But the place is such a cluster you can’t get anyone to agree on anything. When it comes to doing the right thing. About absolutely anything you are gaslighted, ghosted, etc. I’ve never seen a more dysfunctional organization.
I see it happening, but it will take some people with ba--s to do it.
Just let me know when to vote, and I will run on down.
No. Because Texas.
In other words, exactly as it is now?
I don't see it happening. It requires too much coordinated effort from way too many people. On top of that, while unionizing is protected by law, there's nothing stopping your employer from immediately firing you because you got back from lunch two minutes late or some other BS reason after they put you under a microscope for union talk.
You wouldn't be fired for trying to unionize. You'd be fired because you got to work late, a dress code violation, a random dr-g test, a call that didn't pass QA, or some other "performance issue."
