Has anyone ever successfully negotiated to be put on a higher step in a union job at a community college in a non-faculty job? HR has told me that all new employees are placed at step 1. Also, I asked for a bilingual pay differential because I will be serving Spanish speaking clients and the job listed bilingual as a preferred requirement, and they said they do not offer that. Any thoughts or suggestions?

That's a pretty specific situation that I can't say I've ever been in. It sounds like they have a process for how they place people, though, and it might not be negotiable. And if they don't offer a pay differential for multiple languages, you might just have to take them at face value. You might want to try to negotiate your salary regardless of those things, but it sounds like they just aren't really open to it.

To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it? You'd think websites like glassdoor, linkedin, and this one would all be in an incredibly powerful position from the point of view of union organizing and the way they design the site could work for us or against us. So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
