An employee can demand as much as they want. They should not be able to dictate all the terms to the company though and if not followed shut the company down via a strike where they (often) have beaten those who still wanted to work for the terms the company was offering.
What about teachers unions which have made it virtually impossible to even fire a teacher, even if they are not doing their job?
I really do not get the whole "right" to work and keep your job. I also have issues with seniority when it comes to layoffs, firing, and even promotions. By the way I did grow up with family members in unions and saw both sides or should I say all three sides since for awhile my father got kicked around due to policies of the union.
