Companies cannot control the unions. If you want to make a negative comment about the union, do it somewhere else. You should be commenting / reviewing the company not the union. I recognize the union was a major part of your involvement with the company, but again, the company cannot control the union. I'm guessing the company would love not to have the union there, but it's not their choice. Most companies would do anything to get rid of the union presence. I worked there for two years in the production area. It was a great job. I would have stayed if it were not for relocating. The pay was fair, and my manager was great. I was promoted twice during the two years. They definitely promote those who work hard, but if you don't, you will end up on the streets. Not going to lie. It is a much better place than my current job. In fairness to the reviewer, I did not work in one of their union sites. I'm sure it could be a different experience there.
