[QUOTE="civicmindedex79, post: 676460, member: 2024"] I won't get on here to argue with anyone- every union, every local, every member is different. I am a Vice President in my local union. I am not a huge union pusher, I won't be that person that downs you or whatever you wanna call it. I have been union for 14 years first with PACE and now with USW since the merger many years ago. I will give you this advice and anyone who wants to disagree they can do so. I am referring to my local union only and not ALL unions. Just like taking a ****, there are good ones and there are bad ones. 1) The union is what YOU make it. Just like in life if you don't like how something is going get involved. 2)I got involved because I knew nothing about it and knew they was going to have so much influence in my livelihood. 3)The union has a place when there is issues with the big 3. Safety, retirement/wages, benefits. 4)I like the union personally because I have a voice in things that are decided and the company does have to atleast pay attention to what you have to say. 5)Also like it because if someone has a rough patch in their life there is some protection there for them to straighten up before just kicked to the curb. I am not talking about lazy asses that use the union as an excuse or folks that don't show up for work. edit: There are many threads on here about union discussions search and I promise you will find them.
