Happy Anniversaries...
....to me.
I know most of you won't care, but a couple of you might...
I'll be celebrating two anniversaries this year with the two unions in
which I hold membership...
Twenty Five Years as a full dues-paying member with one union, and
Thirty Five Years as a member of another union.
Non-competing unions. Never a break in service.
I'm on "inactive" status with the second union, but still pay a reduced
rate annual dues of a couple hundred dollars, and I am proud to do so.
I'll be a full retiree with my 25-year-member union shortly, and will
only pay "social dues" to my local from now on. That covers my
contribution for the monthly get-together meal and our annual bull roast.
The years, they just flew by. :)
