No need to join union?

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

'When employers want to “play punk”, they have many, many ways to do so – and they can squirm around the law, keeping legal.. but leaving you worse off. It is because of this basic reason, you should sign-up as a union member, regardless of whether or not your company is unionised.

Consider these common means employers usually use:

- Ask you to resign,

- Make your job scope redundant,

- Reduce your job responsibilities,

My friend John was working in a pharmaceuticals plant. They’ve recently lost a key client and his department is effectively redundant. However, instead of retrenching, the company pretty much left them alone for a month, giving them little responsibilities. One by one, John’s colleagues resigned from boredom."
