Now that Alphabet employees have formed a union, is there a possibility that public accountants can now form one? I’ve been saying for years that a union would be hugely beneficial in terms of retention and morale. I know you all will think this is nuts but hash it out below!

Opportunity to work more for less money?

There's a strong legal argument that professional services providers are not generally eligible for the protections that allow other workers to form a union. Nothing is stopping firms from firing you the second you talk union.

Step 5- Dissolve you “dummy” CPA firm

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!

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?
