This is my first time working a unionized job and I’m pretty new so this is the first time I’ve been a member during bargaining. Apparently our management’s initial proposal is substantially worse than our current CBA - yes we have a bargaining team and they are working on it, but at what point are they actually breaking the law and not bargaining in good faith? I really don’t know much about the legal side of this but it’s laughably bad, like I can’t imagine any employee who wasn’t even in a union accepting work as an individual on these terms. It feels like they’re not even taking the process seriously and just hope to get rid of all their current staff or something.

Edit: this is in the US, in a state where the laws are decidedly anti-union, I’m asking about federal law here.
