Apple workers is anti union? WTF, i thought apple was one of the most liberal leaning corporations
There are two reasons to avoid a union:
- Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
- Perceived lack of need.
If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.
Apple may be in this category?
Would a union be able to repeal this lame IT overtime pay expectation? This dumb rule was the $27.63 over ten years ago too. I once worked at a place and a co-worker was told by his staffing agency that they didn’t have to pay overtime.

Damn, wtf are intuit and GM doing to their engineers?
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.
10% of people are insane so they even got significant chunks of the crazy vote for GM and Intuit
Maybe they just forgot to brainwash them with anti-union propaganda
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.
Idk about intuit but GM is probably a result of their union coworkers getting awesome Bennie’s.
Anything using Blind as a “verified industry source” is going to be skewed to the type of person who uses Blind. Beyond that, it’s low sample size, and there are suspiciously round fractions for some of the larger companies. Worse, because Blind is blind - this doesn’t represent current employees, but merely people who worked at some point in the past at those companies.
Not saying it’s not good - just saying not to get overly excited over a badly done survey
Now how do we do it? Especially with remote work, not sure how to organize.
Not bad, I thought our heads were still further up our asses.
Gotta ask some of my coworkers if they were one of the participants in the survey.
