I don't know which of the above have any legal impact, but it really grinds my gears when companies don't take care of their employees.
Now, I won't disclose exactly who my employer was, but some of you probably know from my past posts, and those that don't will probably be able to piece it together from the preceding and following info.

The owners of the organization are the members, who pay mandatory dues. The members elect from their ranks an executive branch and board of governors every year. Members would be the concerned investors, but most of them don't even know they belong to a union. The overwhelming majority (approx 80-90%) do not even care to vote for their leadership. The organization justifies its rates according to internal policy and BOG approval. Payouts on severance and most expenditures are approved by a 5 member executive branch.
