Unfortunately low.

Unions are still viewed in this industry as a vehicle for blue collar workers that are easily replaceable, and would be beneath us bc we are highly skilled. This mindshift will shift more as tech unions increase, but we’re not there yet.

That’s a much better rebuttal, A1 - and I agree. I believe Ops curiosity is more geared towards the trend in our profession and potential (dystopian) future state

We have a union here (France). I’m a manager and I make €95k. Plan accordingly.

During union negotiations last year, we asked for a small number of bedside RNs to be in committee on workplace violence (after an RN was actually beaten up by pt. & hospitalized) although almost no cost to administration- they declined so no voice from those ACTUALLY experiencing. Now same “leaders” all in masks getting their pics taken for PR thanking us etc. hassled us on every tiny contract point - now “we’re all in this together?

MYTH: Unions are outside, special-interest groups.

FACT: Workers themselves are the union. A union is a democratic organization of workers standing up for their rights on the job and in society.

PwC Toronto assurance: being offered a job as a transfer from the US. I’ll be transferring as a senior associate 1 (aka this is my promo year). I’ll be either tier 1 or 2 since I’m an easy promote here in New York. I was offered 61k CAD assuming I’m tier 3. They said they might adjust it if my rating comes in higher. What should I expect if I were either tier 1 or 2? Trying to minimize the salary reduction…

Job base salary presented by HR during screening interview was $130-$145k. I have 3-5 years more experience and more education compared to the posting requirements (BA required, I have a MS). I love the position and what it entails, but was hoping to reach $150-$160 base salary. If offered the position, is this a reasonable ask? This is for big pharma, data analytics in New England.
