Nah, this time is exactly the right time to unionize. This way the company does not have to fight the Union and they can cooperate properly.

However, if under new management the company where to ever change her tune..........

Y'know, it's really telling how anything that implies shifting the balance of power toward the worker has at least one downvote, whether immediately necessary, or a guarantee for the future. Someone here REALLY ISN'T HAPPY about labor tryna protect themselves

Exactly. Why wait until your employer is hostile to try to unionize? It'll just be 10x harder then. If things are good this union will help make sure it stays that way.
