Yah. I just have bad memories of not being able to move my monitor from one end of a desk to another without a worker in a union filing a grievance. Just because you have lots of bureaucracy doesn't mean you can't have a bunch more.

To be clear, that's about moving equipment, right?

(I've had that issue as well, where the people who managed the equipment were in a union)

Note: I think that's a misapplication of their grievances - it's one thing if your employer makes you move your office equipment to avoid hiring movers, a single person updating their desk or location should be an explicit exception

But I agree with you!! Unions can cause bad policy, and this is a reasonable example.
