Just remember there is someone out there that will due your job for
less. I work for a major airline that has a union and we were forced to
give back allot. 17.5% in pay, one weeks vacation, 5 holidays at (2.5
times
straight time), lost 5 sick days, overtime after 4 hours was double time,
now time and a half. Add it all up we lost about 20%. That's not
including
that medical is going thought the roof. And our union did little to stop
it. The next thing the company will go for is our pension. So if a large
company can do this to its employees that have a union, just think what
will
happen if you don't have union. If a few large companies start taking
back
benefits and get away with it other companies will follow. Unions are
needed now more then ever.

The yahoos in here always like to bring up a worst case senario.where a
janitor makes $ 29.00 per hour because of a union.
I don't know if this is a reality, or myth. If it is a reality, I say
critize the idiot managers who agreed to this high salary.
The majority of unions up here have to scratch and claw just to make sure
they don't fall too far below inflation. A couple of years ago our average
'industrial wage was $ 42K CDN..that's about $31K US.
