You misunderstood me. It's not a matter of being treated fairly across the industry.
It's a matter of being treated fairly across a large company. So if you have 'Big Company A'... and I'm a systems analyst in Saskatoon, and you work for the same company doing the same job in Toronto, and somebody else works for the same company doing the same job in Chicago... that we all have the same job description, the same duties, etc. Unions typically spend a looooot of time trying to determine 'if you have this job, you turn this knob once an hour and only once an hour and not before this other guy turns his knob'. As I mentioned, I'm not saying it's done well... I can just see the potential function. >> J Ko wrote: >> They ensure that employee A in one location is treated equally and fairly > >The mechanism that guarantees that is the labor market.
