Actually, the executives should probably also unionise, it will help normalise negotiations and spread best practices that lead to a better work environment for all.
Would be kind of interesting to see what kind of negotiations would arise from having labor, management, and executives all represented by unions!
edited to add missing word
If executive unions could enforced a max amount of hours worked for executives and other similar quality of life requirements. Maybe there would be fewer sociopaths and more humans in executive positions.
Check out the Nordics, that's how they do it over there.
Executives are already part of a union. Boards approve the executive hiring of a company, but those boards are made up of executives from other companies. And those companies have boards that include executives from other companies. Hiring and firing of executives are handled by a collective of executives across many companies. It's a union that protects itself.
If they can stop looking out for themselves first!
Management jobs are rarely union, since they're the ones making the rules.
Correct, but they would often benefit from having collective bargaining against the board of directors or other owners.
And organising themselves as a union would also show them that unions aren't evil and shift focus from exploitation to cooperation. Besides, many unions would have much use of being able to speak for the whole industry in matters of legislation, either as lobby or expert.
I don't know if that will achieve what you want it to. Remember, the AMPTP is a union and it was able to get concessions from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA which are not good for the workers.
