Little of Microsoft's 'principles for employee organizing' is actually pro-union
outlining four"principles" the company would be adopting in response to the recent wave of union efforts in the US. Admittedly it's surprising for a company this size in the tech industry to — in word or deed — strive for anything less than the complete destruction of any organizing effort. But Smith's post contains precious little substance."Our employees will never need to organize to have a dialogue with Microsoft’s leaders.
Our leaders have an open door policy, and we invest in listening systems and employee resource groups that constantly help us understand better both what is working and where we need to improve. But we recognize that there may be times when some employees in some countries may wish to form or join a union.
Where things get interesting is the second half of this principle, which sounds an awful lot like a promise of non-interference. Certainly, members of the tech pressit that way. But saying Microsoft might not"benefit" from resisting a union campaign and stating plainly that it will not work against such a campaign are not the same.
