What would it even mean to have a ”temporary union”?
"I got mine!"
The West/Americans can't conceive of actually sticking to an agreement.
That sounds like some horror created by a neoliberal think tank and heartily endorsed by Pete Buttigieg.
You ever see that really stupid Baki scene where Baki is surrounded by like five guards pointing guns at him but he's supposed to be the one in charge and actually has them (the people pointing guns at him at point blank range) hostage?
This is that but real; convincing workers to have a temporary union and pretending they're having their arms twisted to make small, meaningless concessions so the workers don't unionize for real and force major concessions; and this as a temporary measure to give them breathing room to figure out how to replace or downsize them.
It’s not gonna make sense because this person doesn’t actually know what unions are.
They have a surface understanding of the protections that unions offer to its members, but don’t actually know how or why.
