[QUOTE="Commercial Inside Release, post: 5244619, member: 93336"] The way I see it is... You have good locals & bad locals. The bad ones are just guys that don't want to do anything, and they're getting away with it. Does that make the union bad? No! But, it doesn't help, either. Non-union work is anything goes, dog eat dog. Without the union, things would be much worse. One thing, however, is the part time wages are far too low. Walmart pays $20\hr & Target pays $24\hr to just stock shelves. Here we are paying minimum wage AND taking out union dues and initiation fees -- for what? Negotiating higher wages is pretty basic and fundamental to being a member of a union. For chrissakes there are MRA part time wages at UPS in select areas that are $27-30\hr. [/QUOTE]
