You want one Union. The scope isnt broader than in other industries, where from the line worker to the engineer people are also under the same Union contract. The more people you have the more power for negotiations you have.
Engineers are rarely included in unions and in my experience there’s a separation of line and clerical workers into allied chapters
That’s interesting. In which country is that? Here in Germany most union contracts cover an entire industry and all workers in unionized companies there. So an IT employee at a car manufacturer is subject to the same contract as themechanical engineer, the trade master supervisor on the shop floor and the line worker.
It is not in the interest of the employees to be divided as they have the same employer to negotiate with.
In Canada at a telco, but engineers are out of scope like management while everyone else in the company is part of the same union.
Salesforce laid off about 10% of its workforce earlier this year, but now CEO Marc Benioff is encouraging those people to apply to fill its 3,000-plus open roles.
American corporatism is truly mindboggling.
How can someone be a CEO when he cannot think a 9 month ahead? Also nobody can tell me that this is economic in the slightest.
It’s either a scummy way to reset the pay ladder or true stupidity. Maybe both.
I’m reminded of an article that explains this bout of layoffs as more of a trend than anything else:

“Hey Beni! Looks like you’re on the wrong side of the labor market!”
