[quote=Anonymous]OP, those that have told you that there is nothing you can to do "get back" at the union are 100% right.  Why is this bothering you?  If people on DCUM called you crazy pond scum, would that bother you?

If the union is being unprofessional, that's just going to hurt them in the long run in their ability to work things through in a cooperative manner (which sometimes benefits the union and the employees it represents).  It really shouldn't bother you at all.  I am sure they are not gaining any traction with the head of your department calling you pond scum, so why let it bother you?  You just keep doing your job to the best of your ability.  Use progressive discipline where appropriate, treat everyone fairly and according to their work performance, and above all do not retaliate against anyone.  In my experience, this sort of "robust discourse" usually dies down UNLESS management is really awful and/or feeds it by engaging in union busting activity.  In workplaces with good management, the good employees will generally be happy.  If you are a jerk about it, the good employees will rally to the side of the poor performers and start agreeing with them that the whole situation is because you are a jerk, not because they aren't doing their job.

Keep calm and carry on, as the T shirt says.  [/quote]
