    What kind of 5th dimensional chess are you trying to play where penalizing someone for joining a union is “caving to the union’s demands?”

      if salaries depend on union decisions then surely they are following the union’s demands.

      i think the thing that makes it confusing is the missing context of whether unionised workers at that site are being paid less than non-union workers. i assumed the answer was no because it sounded like they had a CBA that the person was not aware of, since the alternative would have been immediately struck down by any union worth its salt.
