@JaxVent Full disclosure: I'm not in a union, or even on your half of the planet.
BUT.
See if you can align with one of the electricity/infrastructure unions (I assume they exist)
I imagine EV chargers will eventually grow to being a sizable load on the power grid, and getting things done in the future might be easier for both if the infra people and the charger people are on the same page.
...and because the union(s) in control of the transport AND the power will not be one to fuck with.
@lucas @JaxVent I'm with @drandrewv2 on this in that I'd go with Prospect (and like her I'm a former Prospect rep - stopped when I moved to a non-unionised employer). Specifically because relevant to @lucas 's point, Prospect have members at National Grid (as well as being good for tech in general).
On the reviews, I'd say:
* The local branch does the heavy lifting. You will have a good experience if you have a good branch
* Prospect is less militant than some other unions in general. If a fight is called for, fine, but it's not the first tool in the box. Some won't like that.
* Prospect as I recall came out against the 999 operators' strikes a year or two back (Prospect represents managers at BT but not rank and file staff, I believe). That didn't go down well in some quarters, might be some bad reviews from that.
