Amazing how employees can join together to force an entire board to resign in the interests of their CEO, but as soon as it’s about their own interests that’s absurd and naive (mastodon.xyz)

Percentage-based dues would naturally go up with wage increases. In some countries unions receive government subsidies though

Dues would go alot farther too if union employees had a cap based on average member salaries. There is zero reason for union executives to be living a different lifestyle from the people they represent.
