If anyone is looking to expand unions to new industries, the Property Management industry desperately needs you.
We have no unions that I am aware of, and we have no way to collectively bargain.
If you have experience in forming and operating unions, this is a place where we need it, for both employee protections and resident protections. We are at a large disadvantage to owners of properties to do what they push us to (assuming it's legal, which frankly to much is), and it can be a career ender to not do those depending on the company as the apartment and rental industry is very tight knit and a company like say, Greystar, has MASSIVE sway.
I know the classic response is "well you can make one" and yes, I can. BUT I have never been in a union. I don't know how it functions, and I have no desire to give people a subpar protection because I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't share pro union stuff, guides to make unions, ect for shits. I know there are others like me, and even if they can't do it, perhaps that can be some additional pressure to have them reach out to someone who can.
