Yes, the Big Lies continue.. Even in States that still allow "union shops," union shop employees are:If you want to work for a union company you have to join the union. If you are management you don't have to join. But if you are going to benefit from union protection then yes you have to join the union and pay your dues.
Relax. You make more now so you can afford the dues.
This is giving labor more power. This is leveling the playing field. You want to weaken/destroy unions.
What is it called when a company threatens employees if they even talk about unionizing? Is that fascism?
Maybe why workers are leaving unions
Dumbest thing I've ever read. Any employer worth working for offers some paid sick days. That's anti American defined.I am a retired union carpenter. My union isn't like the typical union. We had NO sick days, No vacation days, etc.
We got paid only when we WORKED. As it should be.
This is the exact same war Republicans waged on unions in the 2000's as George Bush sent 700,000 of their jobs overseas.
You guys are so pathetic. Imagine that. You republicans are anti labor.
35% of the jobs in America used to be union jobs. As membership declined, so did wages. No coincidence.
And yet it works.Dumbest thing I've ever read. Any employer worth working for offers some paid sick days. That's anti American defined.
I believe that over 95% of America supports unions. But I wonder if that was the case in the 1940s or maybe it has changed today. I want to be able to convince as many people as possible here that unions are pro American, they are pro Christian they are pro traditions. They are pro civil liberties, they are pro second amendment, they are pro police and pro firefighters and pro military.
Yes there are corrupt union leaders yes they are corrupt teachers, yes there are corrupt police officers, yes there are corrupt members of the NAACP, yes there are corrupt members of the United States government. There’s corruption in every country in the world. America stands out as the most liberal and free country at all of human history. Our middle class, our military , and our economy is the best in the world because of American greatness, Because of our glorious victory in World War II where we saved the free world with our brave Soviet , Chinese and British allies ….and because of the steel workers and United States military, and the will of the American men and women through history…they all made our country great and glorious.
Rather than going to a very long post as I often do I’ll make this as short as possible. I can’t think of a better image and video to show then the one below. Because after all all of the conservatives here who say they love America who say they stand by the Second Amendment, who they who say they stand by family, Christianity and American traditions I only ask you to just look briefly at the following video because the very people you aspire to be …well they are the men and the women of the following video. The steel workers of the following video who contributed to World War II who fought in World War II. Who fought in the Vietnam war who came home and who were able to get a steel job that set them for life. I can’t think of anything else to bring forward to prove my point gentlemen and ladies. I can’t think of anything else other than this. These were and are unionized workers these are steel workers.
That is patriotism^
The power of American steel we see that above. The power of American greatness in manufacturing we see this above. Our bridges are roads, our road signs and so much more come from steel. Just the term “American steel” sounds so awesome and strong.
You are bad at math. Maybe the union can give you a classThat's right. We worked hard to form a union.
IF you would be willing to make what you would be making if your company didn't have a union, that would be different. But you are going to be protected by the union. They are going to get you raises? No I'm sorry. If you won't join the union you can't work here.
Workers with union representation enjoy a significant pay premium compared to non-union workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports non-union workers earn just 85 percent of what unionized workers earn ($1,029/week vs. $1,216/week).
Unless you are willing to take a 85% pay cut. Then I would allow it.

If you want to work for a union company you have to join the union
that depends ...the PO is union but you dont have to join, and you still get all the benefits....
You are wrong. Today unions are more necessary than ever. You are a corporate boot licker. Either you are a corporation or top management or you are an idiot who doesn't work for a union and doesn't realize how much unions do to raise even your wages.I think for the most part unions are no longer necessary. Most of the things they fought for are now mandated by law, thus removing their utility.
Back in the Mid 80s before I joined the Corps I worked as a welder at a fire apparatus manufacture. I welded aluminum fire truck cabs. The company was amazing and treated us well. One moron got PO at his manger and pushed for a union. He wrote to a union and tried to get them to come and unionize our shop. Once the process started everything was locked, no raises, no bonuses, nothing was allowed to change till it was over. Took damn near 9 months while the union tried to talk us all into joining. The end vote was 92% no. I have had a bad taste in my mouth over unions ever since.
My wife works for the VA as a nurse. They have a union which is useless a screen door on a submarine. Seems all they do is fight to keep shit people from being fired. They cannot impact hours, or pay or benefits since all of that is mandated by Congress.

It wasn't only 1 person that tried to unionize your shop. And I can just imaging the tactics the company used to get 92% to vote no.
Why does Starbucks pay so shitty?
85% paycut?What part of their math is incorrect?
85% paycut?

So far, the labor disputes haven't appeared to dent Starbucks' sales. Starbucks said in November that its revenue rose 3% to a record $8.41 billion in the July-September period.
Starbucks Workers Begin 3-Day Walkout at 100 US Stores
Starbucks workers around the U.S. have begun a three-day strike. The walkouts are part of their effort to unionize the coffee chain’s stores. Starbucks Workers United says more than 1,000 baristas at 100 stores are planning to walk out. The strike will be the longest in the year-old unionization...
More workers say Starbucks retaliated for union efforts: âI lost everything when they fired meâ
US employee rights agency issues growing number of complaints against coffee chain as hundreds of stores try to form unions
You can't fire someone for trying to start a union.
No work no eat.I'll give you some math. No employees means no sales

Doesn't add up. A majority of your coworkers had to have signed cards indicating interest in joining the union, else nothing would have happened.We just disagree on this. Only one of us though feels the need to make it personal and throw out insults. Do you find that brings a lot of people to your side?
Pretty much it was the one guy. The union won over a few more with empty promises, but not many.
The company could not do anything. Everything was frozen in place. We could not even get our normal raises and bonuses till the process was over.
But the union could throw parties with food and beer even when trying to get people to vote for them. The company could not make any sort of statement pro or con on the union.
Because it is a menial job that a trained chimp could do.
Unless you are willing to take a 85% pay cut. Then I would allow it.
Read the above quote and get back to me.That is not what he said....he said...non-union workers earn just 85 percent of what unionized workers earn ($1,029/week vs. $1,216/week).
The actual amount is 84.62%, so rounding up to 85% is correct math.
