How does that work? I’m a federal employee in a union. You figure if the feds can so can state employees
It is literally just state gov employees in TX that are barred from unionizing, I shit you not. We have no worker protections when it comes to any element of collective bargaining. The state can terminate our contracts as punishment for doing so. Even teachers here aren’t allowed to. Unsurprisingly, pigs (and firefighters too for optics I guess) are the only state employees allowed to unionize.
This includes political subdivisions of the state, so county/city employees are also barred.
Wow. Where I live we have the AUPE, which is the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, which is literally a union for employees of the province (as stated in the name).
I’ve never been a part of it so I’m can’t make any claims to their effectiveness, but I know a lot of dumb people who make complaints about overpaid government workers.
Like no. They’re not overpaid, you’re underpaid.
