They’re wielding new tactics with low-wage workers after decades of failed organizing efforts.

    Metrics can be abused. That doesn’t mean metrics are bad, it just means that you have to be careful how you use them.

    Oh. It’s a good thing bosses can be trusted to be upright and virtuous and never play favorites.

    Not using objective metrics is very bad if you want to get ahead of the lazy do the minimum person who was hired just before you.

    If you’re working harder than he is, it’s because you’re a sucker who is voluntarily exploiting yourself. The union is not constraining your boss’ magnanimity; it’s constraining his ability to exploit you.

    Or your ability to exploit your workers.

      No, the union is constraining my boss’s ability to reward me for working harder.

      Working for wage is not about exploitation. That propaganda is one of the problems I have with unions.

        I can’t imagine seriously believing this. Your worldview is based on overt denial of things I consider to be obvious and true. We have no common ground on which to have a conversation and I am uninterested in trying to argue with you. You’ve already convinced yourself of rank absurdity.
