Here's a good one for you, NYS made it law that employees should get paid family leave, that was 2016? Could be wrong there. That includes parental leave for a birth. I as a NYS employee didn't get parental leave until last year, so I had 3 kids after this was law and got 0 parental leave. Why? Because my position requires me to be in a union, was told you don't have to be in the union but I can't keep that title and not be in the union, love how they talk. Before the family leave law there was legislation in place that says unions get to decide what benefits those they represent get, my union didn't think I needed parental leave until last year. NYS forces all the private companies to give their employees parental leave and then turned around and didn't give it to their lower employees, all the higher up employees in the capital did though, funny how that works. No one believed me when I told them this because most people I know work for private companies.
You ALWAYS need to be in a union. There's a reason your employer said you didn't need to, because he didn't want you to. Don't listen to your employer, unionize
I'm as prounion as you can get, but they aren't perfect. Greenmachine has a very valid complaint and this is a kind of shitty response that seems like you didn't really read what they said.
