Invisible union
A union that workers are a representative of, so they carry out the employer facing role | |
Companies actively try suppress and destroy unionisation
attempts in industries that are not unionised. So employees
have no leverage.
I propose an invisible union is one where people join and do
not tell their employer about. And everybody who is a
member takes a stand individually.
The
idea is that the organisation is not the face that
employers talk to but the individual members of the union.
The union discuss every job application in detail (pay,
hours,
conditions) and candidates go back to the union to pass on
any information about their application or negotiation
process.

Would this have any legal implications? |
|
| |
What if someone snitches to the employer? |
|
| |
In some technical sense everyone at the factory could be considered an employee of the organisation right up to the top. How high does this Union membership and/or the secrecy surrounding it go? |
|
| |
Yeah, but what are the technical details behind the implementation of such
anonymity? Anonymity is generally a non-trivial matter in on its own. Even
the people that created silkroad behind TOR had been de-anonymized.
How does this "invisible union" work on the technical level? |
|
| |
Can a company require you not share hiring process
information with another organisation? |
|
| |
//Can a company require// I'm sure it's trivial to write a legally watertight non-disclosure clause into any contract. |
|
| |
I guess the contract only applies once you're working for a
company. |
|
| |
You can get away with disclosure in the recruitment process. I
hope contracts aren't changed or a invisible union is
impossible. |
