[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would unions challenge this? Let people take it if they want. People are entitled to make informed decisions including taking risks.[/quote]

[i][u][b]BECAUSE IT'S NOT LEGAL[/b][/u][/i], and therefore it exposes anyone who takes the offer with not actually following through on all the promises made, such as being allowed to stay home as soon as you hit send; being allowed to not work until September while still getting paid; guaranteed salary until September. Also, depending on the agency, the offer conflicts with specific agency rules.

It's a huge risk to take for a private individual. The language of some of the Fork emails stated that once accepted, the employee waived all rights to complain later. Some emails said that actual work might be required of some employees, in person.

Unions are doing their jobs and protecting their members from exploitative labor practices.
