- Melatonic 4y agoI highly doubt this - everytime I have heard people complain about this it terns out to be a percentage of their paycheck (which is pretty standard for all unions - rarely it is a flat fee). What potentially could be a whole paycheck are the payments for healthcare that is provided by the union
- ericd 4y agoThat’s pretty bad, though - if I’m in my 20s and in good health, I’d definitely prioritize, say, rent over high-end health insurance.
- bombcar 4y agoOr the "union signup" fee that is charged on your first paycheck, and eats your paycheck if you're minwage.
- cool_dude85 4y agoI've never heard of a "union signup" fee (that's not to say it doesn't exist) but the person who posted it claims his buddy was paying every month. edit: Looked it up in my state, they are limited here to $15.
- bombcar 4y agoApparently they call it an "initiation fee" for some people.
