Protip: if they mention unions in any way during your interview, you need to be in a union.
They Ask about unions in Job interviews? What the fuck
USA! USA! USA!
Yeah, why not straight up ask, if you’d like to work for them under shitty conditions with abysmal pay?
if they confront you just say you thought they talked about the European Union, they can’t prove you didn’t
“So are you pro-union?”
“Not since Kruschev was removed.”
“What?”
“What?”
I thought you guys broke up?
Is this an American thing? Why would anyone be anti union (apart from the given example of getting a job)? Even the decimated unions of the UK are still thought to be fairly positive seeking for better rights. Genuinely asking.
Ironically I know a lot of German employees who range from sceptical to outright anti-union. They are mostly East-Germans, and my attempt of an explanation is that for them, unions used to belong to the founding and ruling East German Socialist Party SED and thus they connect it with oppression and patronisation from the elite ruling class. They don’t have any arguments either, when you ask them what they have against it and whether they know that we have weekends and maximum working hours and paid sick leave due to unions they go yea of course of course, but… idk man… I don’t see how I would profit from it… and all the strikes man, it only hurts the economy man… It’s a bit like yeah but apart from sanitisation, wine, the aqueducts, schools, democracy, what have the Romans done for us?!
And then of course some are thoroughly brainwashed an-caps who think people must be stinking rich or stinking of the excrements in the street they live in, no in-between, and hate unions for fighting just that.
