It is soo good. A tech company i just got offer from. In their onboarding app, they let me join the union on the first day.
This is what you see in the company with strong union.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Huh, hadn’t seen that before. But does that necessarily mean it is a strong union? Couldn’t it also mean it’s an employer-controlled union that is not really going to do anything for you?
It's more likely there not because the employer wanted it, but because the union demanded it.
Employer controlled union. That's oxymoron.
No not really, if you read more about unions you will see that they aren’t always working in their members’ best interests and sometimes union leadership will ally with employers to secure their futures above those of union members. Not all unions are created equal. From what little I know and have read in the past about unions. Not that I have first hand experience.
It's called a yellow union
You've got a point. This can be a sign of something sinister. It's not necessarily a bad a sign but the situation that the previous user pointed out happens frequently enough that it could be.
