I know its been said here many times and I know people do not have enough gumption or unity to do it but the only thing and I mean the only things that brings these useless ba----ds to their knees is a union. It is what they were designed to do. I hate them but I think the time is coming again for them to start gaining traction. The workforce today does not have any say or a fair shot at decent treatment by their employer. I hate it when people on here say go find another job. For most that is not an option because the system has become so rigged and it's all the same scam regardless. Age discrimination, AI screening job applications, DEI, and just all the other barriers they have put up. All the Execs work together in step...the worker just hasn't gotten smart enough to do it in places like SF, AT&T, Chase, etc... Amazon workers are trying and so are Starbucks but face hurdles with the big shots trying to subvert them at every turn. I think if only a handful of people would genuinely approach it with co-workers most would get on board. I know just wishful thinking. It would bring an end to their reign of te---r on the American worker.

Ahhh that would help somewhat but it is not the answer. Government does not really fix anything and usually makes it worse. If you banned Congress from trading stocks, serving on boards, banned them from being lobbyist, set term limits and banned political pacs and dark money contributions, and also every law would say that congress can not exempt itself from any law it passes. You would see almost every single issue with our nation solved in about 6 months with unanimous votes from both parties. I'm a Capitalist but we do not have that anymore in the United States. In a Capitalistic system the Capitalist bear the risk and all of the risk. In our system the Capitalist get most of the benefit and take on none of risk and have transferred the risk to the taxpayer. Always getting bailed out! Easy to gamble with someone else's money knowing you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. SF Execs play these games because they are making millions and have billions of dollars of policyholders money to bail them out. You also bear the risk for all of their bad mistakes and decisions.
A company is competitive by taking advantage of cheap indentured labor importation and outsourcing work to sweatshops. If you need to see change then elect politicians that will change laws to protect American jobs by banning H1B, reducing immigration and tariff services from India
Agree Progressive may hit 9 million new polices this year and if they do that again next year they will have almost 10 million more cars than SF! They farm out the homeowners/renters to other companies. Don't be surprised to see them acquire someone like Farmers or another company and when they do it's all over. State Farm missed their window 12 years ago when they selected "Just the Tip" Tiptard to destroy the company and go in the wrong direction. We will never recover. They are just floundering around with all this stupid non-sense.
It’s not going to make a difference soon we are loosing so much business so fast it will be irrelevant !
Glad we jump to 149 billion in the bank won’t make much of difference either with Brand Damage and poor claims experiences.
Prime example of inadequate and lousy leadership to much nepotism
I can't I'm in leadership, exempt employee/managers.... and we cannot start a union or be part of one by law! Wish we could....I would be handing out pamphlets today and scheduling off-site meeting with employees to schedule the vote while coordinating with union representatives.
@OP So STFU and be the one to start it, already.
There's no leadership courage, the people that go into those managment roles are unfortunately the worst kind of people that don't want to help anyone but themselves to survive another day collecting money. Workers should really just talk to each other and share experiences of harassment and control, not feel shamed like they're the only ones going through it. Unionizing seems weird a bit because I think it would benefit the people hired the last 10 or so years into this three ring circus. The most f'd over people are the ones that have been here for 15 or more years.
