Svantaggi
-Union fights for you even if you're useless drain on the company -Management turnover is high and like everywhere else you work its a disorganized mess half the time -Managers hands are tied, union makes it very difficult to discipline problem causing employees to the point most are now complacent and don't care -While you may like your supervisor the Area Managers they work for are either clueless or evil depending on what shift you work. -Lots of useless DEI hires that you end up picking up the slack for -Day shift is full of boomers that do nothing while waiting to retire so you can't get on days for 5+ years
