Has there ever been a consultant’s union? Would you consider joining if one existed?

We make far too much and have far too many benefits to fall under collective bargaining.

A lot of the unions out their are working hard to make sure their members have basic things like a living wage, physically safe workspaces, and insurance. We already have all of those things.

If anything I'd say a consultants union with its overpaid office workers would devalue other unions.

Y'all are correct on income not being the right factor to consider. I'd based that on the fact that at a lot of orgs making less than a certain amount automatically makes you part of a collective bargaining agreement. I suppose that doesn't mean we couldn't organize.

As for the pilot union - they started with the mission of "schedule with safety," they kill people if they fall asleep on the job, we just embarass ourselves.

Window in every team room! Consultants of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your path to pa- wait a minute.

Haha! What would the union be good for? Improve work conditions (no client can put Us in closets/basements when on site)? improving work/life balance (work less than 80hrs a week)? ... yeah, nah that’s not going to work 😂😂😂

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?

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
