  • First and foremost: unionization.

    Second: picking the right people for your negotiation committee. We spent nearly 8 months preparing to sit down with the company, and the first meeting was a complete wash. Second meeting we talked them into it with a rational appeal regarding the reality of insurance costs plus the fact that a sick workforce cannot work.

    As far as wages: make them fight you for everything they want. Itemize every part of your job. Make lanes and stay in them. When your union goes to negotiate, the union has the upper hand. You inform them what you will do, not what you desire.




  • All of that pales in comparison to this:

    We created X growth in profit for our shareholders.

    If a company is publicly traded, the shareholders are now by law their highest obligation. It doesn’t matter if that growth comes in the form of new clients or salaries unpaid through RTO policies. No other appeal matters other than generating more profit than the previous quarter at any cost.

    Not maintaining. Not healthy business. Growth at any cost.
