I suggest the Major use his rights to demand an accounting for the $500 charge, and make sure none of those money is going to political, health, or other service the union cannot require non-members under federal law to pay.G Lofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-10111876195892412382010-06-10T12:42:21.000-04:002010-06-10T12:42:21.000-04:00I did a stint in a union yard once (that a few yea...I did a stint in a union yard once (that a few years later went under due to economic foolishness and the fact that the union refused to work across crafts which would have kept them open) and third night there was told that I could pay my union dues monthly or weekly, which would I like. I told the shop steward, A) tell me one thing the union can guarantee that they can do that I can't do for myself and B) did it really matter as I was very junior in seniority and I'd be laid off anyway. He was a little ticky with me. I told him if I didn't like the money, I'd walk. If I didn't like the way the boss treated me, I'd either walk or bust him in the chops, and if it wasn't safe I'd either walk or get someone to fix it.<br /><br />Unions suck.

Quality officer & very active wtih the local veteran groups. More importantly, he does a good job with the NJROTC unit there. For all Worcester's faults, it is still a blue-collar area that respects the military so getting support ought not to be too hard. OTOH, unions still run everything & most of the teachers are as liberal as they come.

But in today's age our "robust" legal system, OSHA, and others pretty much have things covered.<br /><br />Unions should be looking out for their members, but many go to the extremes and in the long run can actually destroy the company. Detroit is the perfect example - if you can't fire or layoff employees you will bankrupt the company.<br /><br />I have never understood the public sector unions. I didn't even know they existed until the mini-mart on North Island (near Airpac) was converted into a union office. So not ony do they have a union they have offices on base - how does that work?Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-46274990143623412882010-06-09T21:32:48.000-04:002010-06-09T21:32:48.000-04:00You say "no better than the Mafia" as if...You say "no better than the Mafia" as if SEIU and AFSCME didn't share staff with them.UltimaRatioRegisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-33612397589126850412010-06-09T20:48:11.000-04:002010-06-09T20:48:11.000-04:00Maggie... embrace your power! ;)Maggie... embrace your power! ;)DeltaBravonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-24486181561108947272010-06-09T20:16:06.000-04:002010-06-09T20:16:06.000-04:00Mags...."all my Sailorss?"
