Some large corporations and government divisions have labor unions and I never really understood how those work…
They can stop a whole corporation or public infrastructure unless their demands are met, but then, why can’t they have unreasonable requests?
In: Economics
The main idea is that the people in that union would then go “Wait, we’re on strike because you’re asking for solid gold toilets? Screw that. I’ll go back to work already.” if the demands were unreasonable. Likewise, if the demands are unreasonable, the corporation will get public support. “We want to have teachers back at work, but they want private helicopters to take them to and from classes.”
Likewise, unions end up negotiating with their employers, and negotiations with unreasonable demands aren’t going to work. The union WANTS a quick resolution that lets everyone get back to work, but asking for a 2 hour work day isn’t going to result in those negotiations ending well.
