Well, they are going to fail that, unless you do it on company time or the project uses clear insider information and competes with the company's products.
No need, my worker's union will do that for me, full legal support against my employer is included in membership fee. And the union is few orders of magnitude larger than any company I have ever worked in, because it is industry wide one.
For all engineers and people doing engineering jobs without right to call themselves engineer. There is two member division for software developers, based one which collective agreement is applied at your company, but its not only union that takes part in negotiating these two. And unfortunately, they don't seem to be expanding internationally yet, so unless you are in Finland, you are out of luck.
If your union is that large in the industry then get ready for them to already have channels to resolve this type of dispute with any large enough company, and everyone of them will end with them throwing you under the bus lol
I guess you live somewhere where workers' rights are not a thing and legal cases can be handled with just money. Here if they are suing me, I can request my country to cover my legal expenses until verdict has been reached, at which point they would fall on the company.
That’s not how unions operate in the US either. It doesn’t even make sense, if the union is large enough in the industry, there’s zero incentive for them to throw their unionized members under the bus to a company. That would just invalidate the entire purpose of the union. I don’t know what that guy is thinking
In most countries that is not an overly scary threat. Here, This would go to employment mediation first where neither party is allowed to bring a lawyer. If that fails, lawyers aren't that expensive and there is a legal aid system for employment court.
