[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 818756, member: 869"] In dealing with supervisors who have never held a union position, I have generally had the impression that they were told the union is a joke. They do not seem to care that their employer has a legal contract agreeing to certain terms with union employees, such as seniority. They will do what they want when they want, including play favorites when a layoff day is available, rather than use seniority. It sounds sorta like they received the same anti-union propaganda that you did. I have never been told that, but it has always been a strong hunch. Not all sups have acted this way, just a few younger ones hired into supervisory positions right out of college. I am glad to hear that you are a union supporter. I have bent more ears than I can count these last few months trying to get people, especially union members, to realize that private unions could be a lot more proactive and involved in organizing on a much larger scale. It would benefit unions, the membership, and many others throughout the country who desperately need help right now. If you're interested, this woman has written a few articles on the subject. I was especially impressed with 'Making Unions Matter Again'. janemcalevey.com Welcome to the Brown Cafe and many thanks for your support. Good luck in your new position! [/QUOTE]
