I keep seeing all these corporate people posting all these negative things about unions and how much money they take from you. You do know that the union will fight for you, and you do know you can make the union work for you and adjust how much money they actually get as a fee from you.
Ex.. without union
you make 16 per hour for 40 hours = $640.
With union you make
19 per hour =$760 minus dues of 25 per week not half your check = $735
That is an extra $95 per week and $4940 more per year Even with paying the union dues.
The contract you set up with the union can be negotiated on both sides so that the people who work for the company actually get what they want. A union is not a dictatorship.
Unions are not the same as what they were, Everyone thinks they’re corrupt like they were in the 70s and 80s, but look at your corporate structure and how much waste and corruption we have at the top.. Look at the top 5% of the country and how much richer they are without all the unions… Hmmm
There will also be no more position eliminations without plenty of notice. A union will guarantee you get paid severance instead of being forced to take another full-time position that may be equal to what you currently have. Why do you think they got rid of all the job codes. Look how much severance they’re not paying over the last five years. We’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars in lost severance to our associates.
