I have never been in a union before so this is my first rodeo in that regard. I have been in management though and I have seen from several companies that there can be a definitive line drawn between profit margin and putting money in the employees pockets.
My management style has always leaned towards the employer maximizing what is given to the employee as the employee is your front line.
I have seen quite the opposite as well and having the employee group bickering among themselves is ALWAYS a win for the company.
It's hard to put personal gain secondary to the needs of the group but it will benefit in the long run. Even though you might be here for a short stint, you'd be a better person for building this place up for next group that comes in after you're gone. You can never go wrong paying it forward.
