So you never benefited from all the contracts in those 15 years? Never got a raise, your co-pay for benefits increased with the rising cost of care, your retirement was not contributed, you never used your senority to get better routes, positions, etc.? Yeah you have the right to demonstrate, but freeloading only says you aren't willing to pay for benefits recieved. Everyone can get pissed at the system and go on welfare, but that right is just the right to be irresponsible. If you want to demonstrate, go down to the hall and badger the crap out of them until you get what you feel is fair representation for you and the other members from the union. No reason to just give up. You can always go work at a non-union shop and see if that works out for you. I've paid for dead beats, I've paid for poorly managed banks, insurance companies, governments, auto manufacturers, and now you want me to pay for you. No thanks, sorry the more I think about it the more pissed I get. Pay your dues like everyone else.
