We as accountants need to unionize and have a nationwide strike near busy season and walkout because accountant lives matter. We deserve to get paid overtime for all of the overtime we are forced to work. Accounting firms partners already make too much money. Nurses did this now they are making bank while we get exploited and be exempt from overtime pay.

Are you a partner? If so give us tech salaries, or at least pay us for any forced overtime we are forced to work.

Smart!! The good boys are an obstacle but it can be done

We should all go on strike / walkout a week before busy tax season to scare the partners. This will definitely help us get bigger paychecks

I’d rather make good money and them fire the bad accountants, thanks. We make more than nurses about 5 years into our career.

Unions always sound good to poor performers. FYI, there are firms that pay OT. You just don’t work there, apparently.

There are firms that pay overtime? I’m in the US and every firm that I worked at put accountants in salary which means no overtime pay.

Buddy we are accountants - it’s not rocket science it’s not a technical field
