I don't bc I'm non union, but I have been passed over for justifiable (imo) raises, and have been told why I wasn't getting it, and guess what, not salty. Maybe I have thicker skin? Maybe I don't view my employer as a buddy?
It blows my mind a grown adult who is in this profession and union is surprised or shocked with how an arbitration hearing goes. It is black and white. Nothing of this is new or ground breaking, and his bff could have shared that with him.
I am curious as to what paths youre taking to gain more users. How are you promoting the main page (and forum) to get new users to join (and participate in) the forum?
