Without my union experience i could not earn a living that i earn today. The union i belong to has features that were earned/bargained for over years. When i worked in tech we often wished we had some if the earned "rights" i now have. No forced Overtime; overtime after 8 hours in a day. Guaranteed 40 hours a week. No work before 6am or after 6am (or else premium pat) No Sunday or holiday work 72% benefits paid by company Part if a 2m plus benefit plan (great coverage) Holiday and sick pay earned as we go; 15, 19 or 26 days off a year depending on length of service. No-layoff clause after 4(or 6)years In my union there is absolutely no advancement opportunity and we dont get rich. In tech we looked down at bargained employees - but now i think it was jusy not understanding them The union machinery is vastly different than the rank and file..their only goal is extracting $$$ from union members. But now there are many poor suffering delivery people who just dont know how much power they hold collectively if they decide to disrupt the status quo. If all uber drivers said FU and banded together - uber is NOTHING without the drivers - they would hold enormous power. Same for Amazon workers. It just is the existine aflcio and other unions don't represent the drivers etc. They cant because they dont fight the fight If the honeymoon the disrupters are having now is broken it will be by organizing the downtrodden driver, part timer, giger, and servant of the rich
