      10% of people are insane so they even got significant chunks of the crazy vote for GM and Intuit

        As someone who previously worked at Google - they didn’t have any antiunion propaganda.

        They just, like, paid well, had top tier benefits, great perks, and had a good work life balance.

            That’s my situation at a Silicon Valley tech company. Nobody ever mentioned unions one way or another but I honestly have no idea what I could ask for that I don’t already get. We have good benefits, good perks, everyone works frok home, unlimited PTO that nobody tries to limit or work around (all we are asked for is to give a rough estimate of time we’ll be taking off during each quarter so that it can be factored into planning), good work environment, good pay.

        This is likely the case with GM given that their manufacturing is unionised. Engineers just got a demo what that can do for them last year. They aren’t getting the raise assembly workers got.

        Silicon valley is full of H1B visa holders who can’t speak up politically or risk deportation.

          This makes a lot of sense. I can definitely see those companies at the bottom having way more H1B workers than the ones st the top.

            And a person with an H1B can only change to a job within a certain radius of their current job and if it’s beyond that radius they need to report it to the govt.

      The union autoworkers get good benefits like overtime pay for work over 8 hours. Union working come in at 6, then take a fixed breakfast and lunch break and then leave at 2:30. Anything over that will need approval and overtime pay. I’m surprised Ford and Stellantis isn’t alongside with GM.

      Idk about intuit but GM is probably a result of their union coworkers getting awesome Bennie’s.

      Funny, seeing them at the top gave me a favorable impression of them, but seems to have caused the opposite for you. My impression was probably due to, like someone else said, feeling like maybe they’re not being drilled with as much anti-union propaganda.

      But I’m from a place where you have to go out of your way not to be part of a union.
