One of the strangest things about insurance industry and unionization....its likely the only industry in the country where hands down everyone would approve to unionize, but for some reason no unions interested in it.
Yea big boy why don't you do the work instead of asking others to do so.
@fp It seems Executive must have considered that…..
@fd Excuse me????
Three out of the four hubs are in states that are not union friendly. Tall order there.
You will not move our department to Bloomington. You do and we sue. We run the department. You don’t new guy.
@OP Talk of unionization at SF started over 50 years ago-how is it going?

The workforce they have hired is too lazy to organize and frankly too stupid to expect anything different. It was why they were hired in the first place. I hate unions but they were designed specially for places like State Farm, to bust them up and stop the abuse. State Farm is trash and a union would serve them right!
