Kenner,#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Ya know, it seems that a few years ago, some employees at the Tulsa branch put up a website to explore the possibility of unionizing as well as to vent. A couple things wrong with that: I knew in passing some of the people posting their 2 cents on that site, griping and moaning about this and that, but weren't they part of the popular clique? There seemed to be no concern for others getting fired or run out of the company, so why all of that concern at that time after the fact? Did they sprout a conscience during that time? Or is it the possibility that it was their own proverbial ox being gored? They'd talked about unionizing too, but I didn't hear anymore about that. The website folded after several weeks: some say it was due to management catching wind of the site and threatened legal action. I'm all for unions, giving the little guy a chance to be heard and taken seriously. That said, West, per my own experience, is a junk job for chump change, and if you're looking to make a career out of it, well, to each their own. But I wouldn't say it was the kind of company that one would want to unionize, because, hey, there is always something better than what you've got at West.
