I've heard the Union makes life miserable for actual union members who cross the line. How so? After a strike is over, do they just harass them at work if they work with one or ignore them?

Any truth that the union is stopping strike fund payments once unemployment starts. We are not getting a clear answer and get the feeling that they don't want us to know they are planning on doing this.

The company can't deport/revoke every single H1B's visa if a wide scale move is made to unionize them. Why haven't unions tried calling corporate bluffs and tried unionizing H1B's? Seems like a century ago, unions would've gone to the ends of the... — read more
