Re: ‘Pressure tactics’: Unions publishing names of nonunion workers
Well, not exactly ...
The union DOES keep a list of available personnel. When an employer calls, they will send over a group that could be potentially hired. HOWEVER ... selection of the employee is the responsibility of the employer ONLY. Otherwise, the union would have a rather significant liability in that they would be responsible for the failure of the person's work performance, theft, incompetence, etc.
No union is going to take that on when they can't control the work environment.
Wrong answer. I think I provided someone else with an explanation above (yeah, see #292).
Years ago (may still be true today), in some industries -- like construction -- the employer simply calls the union and tells them how many and what type workers they need. The union supplies the bodies (so to speak ).
