I’m a federal employee and used to be covered by a union (long story, follow the news of curious). They were responsible for ensuring regular raises-it isn’t up to a supervisor, it is just a schedule that happens automatically. Just one example of the good unions can be. On the other side, my team had a nurse practitioner who has been clearly impaired for the past few YEARS. Like in person falling asleep in meetings, driving in a dangerous manner, disappearing for hours at a time etc. because of the Union they have to go through the same investigation and appeals process as anyone else. EVEN WITH THE CLEAR CUT EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING. And she’s getting paid this entire time. There needs to be a middle ground.
