Re: I don't work for IBM . . .

...and I never did. But I did work for another large US IT company in the UK. In that company many workers thought that joining a union would be a good idea and something they wanted to do but they feared reprisals and discrimination if they did. Although the company made soothing noises that union membership would not affect career prospects the truth became apparent over a period of time that this was a lie. This caused union membership to be to be low and dwindle over time so becoming ineffective. The remaining members always seemed to be at the top of the list when lay-offs occurred. So the b'stards won in the end.

Workers Councils - don't make me laugh!
