[QUOTE="Frunobulax, post: 660010, member: 27202"] As for seasonal and temporary workers paying union initiation fees and dues (tribute, essentially) has it not always (or at least for a long while) been thus? My own experience, admittedly rather limited--three occasions, two unions, and occurrences separated by 32 years--has been that temps., whether summer, peak-seasonal (as with UPS), or otherwise short-term, have always paid in for the opportunity to work in the shadow area between FT and regular PT workers. Actually, in my view, it's a decent three-way bargain between the company, union, and spot worker. The spot worker, of course, has no seat at the bargaining table; but he/she gets the short-term gig. Also, typically, at least with summer help, the dues hit can be ameliorated by claiming more withholding exemptions and the resultant reduced tax burden should more than cover the pain (and indignity??) of paying the union for the opportunity to work.
