[QUOTE="Free Thinker, post: 5673776, member: 107081"] One of the reasons - possibly the only reason - the Teamsters are making so much noise over this contract is that they want to unionize FedEx and Amazon. So they have to make it look like they actually make an effort to help their dues-paying members. I'm not opposed to unions in principle. Given the extraordinary corruption in corporate America, how can workers survive without them? However, it doesn't make any sense to have a union that just helps your employer stab you in the back. With that said, are there any good unions in America? If someone working for FedEx or Amazon asked you which union they should choose, what advice would you give them? I have abundant experience with the National Education Association and Teamsters, both of which are putrid. When I worked at the U.S. Post Office, I didn't belong to the union, but I saw what it did for its members - nothing. I've heard good things about the Longshoremen, or whatever their union's called. Does anyone know of any good unions? [/QUOTE]
