re: #692 BryanS

Isn’t that the case with union versus management? Adversarial doesn’t have to mean contentious. Management wants the least possible expense for employees, unions want the best possible outcome. That is by definition adversarial I think. My point is only that a politician who gets union support would be politically dead if they ticked off the unions. An owner at a private company cannot be voted out of office by the employees.

Management doesn’t want skilled employees? Just the least expensive? is this how it always works out for you in your workplace?

Now we’re getting somewhere. I’ve worked places where I wasn’t valued, I’ve worked places where I was!

here’s a tip: management sometimes isn’t as concerned about the race to the bottom as they are about long term performance, when they’re a good company. :)
