The issue many have is the union dues. If the union doesn't help me, but still take 5% (or whatever) of my paycheck, I'd be pretty peeved off. It's the same issue many people have with raising taxes: politicians tout all the benefits it'll allow, but then costs go up and no visible product results.
- brightstep 5y agothat's a different thing than a less-productive worker not being fired
- sanxiyn 5y ago5% does seem excessive. I worked at a unionized tech company, and I paid 0.5% as union due.
- arbitrage 5y agothat's b/c the figure of 5% is made up bullshit.
- colejohnson66 5y agoIt's not. I worked at a grocery store years ago, and my $300-$350 weekly paychecks had a $15-$20 union due line (I don't remember the exact amount). Sure, some unions can have lower amounts, but single digit dues do exist. Don't get me wrong. I'm for unions, but when people don't see an improvement, it'll leave a sour taste in their mouths.
