I’m curious. I feel like agency life has gotten more demanding, with little improvement when it comes to benefits, pay, or trainings. Am I wrong? Yet I rarely hear about PR professionals unionizing. Why is that?

You’re spot on. Agency folks are definitely feeling it and leadership with little care or regard.

Some working at the big agencies, esp. under WPP and Omnicomm have discussed unionizing but there’s a lot of time and legal work to establish it and it just never seems to move past an idea and general support.
