Reply to comment by Cunninghams_right in They formed the first Apple store union in the country. Now, employees say they’re barred from some benefits. by aresef

> uhh, the whole point of bargaining agreements is to sign a contract to lock in pay and benefits (and whatever else is agreed to between the union and the owner).

uhh, this requires a bargaining agreement. This store unionized by election because Apple wouldn't voluntarily recognize them, and they don't have a contract because Apple won't voluntarily negotiate with them.

then they strike. if they aren't willing to unite to bargain, then are they even a union or are they just employees paying some con-artist dues to call them a union?

As always, you can tell a lot about a person by which laws they think are worth enforcing and which aren't.
