Absolutely not. I'd go back to working solo if non-union assistants
and
hygienists were unavailable. Why should they unionize? Dental
assistants
earn $15-20/hr plus benefits down here...and hygienists earn $32-35+.

For the same reason you asked me if I employed union programmers...

only you were attempting to imply something and I was just curious.



People join unions for many reasons, including, of course, the
opportunity for better wages and fringe benefits. But they also join for
better, safer working conditions and for protection against tyrannical
bosses. I suspect NOYB has a really difficult time keeping help. But, of
course, that's to his financial advantage, eh?


You haven't had a correct "suspicion" in your life. I hired a hygienist, a
front desk receptionist, and an assistant a little over 3 1/2 years ago.
The front desk person just left 1 month ago to move to northern Florida for
retirement. Considering I'm only in business for 4 years, I'd say I have
about the lowest turnover rate of any medical/dental office in the area.
