[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1053981, member: 28856"] And there's a point. I don't have a problem with people who are "permanent" hires having to pay unions dues, I'm in a RTW state and I think the union should work to get people to join but that's not the point right now. If someone is a seasonal worker, has almost no chance to be "permanent" and gets virtually nothing from the union because they haven't and won't attain seniority, why should they pay union fees? I could spend 10 minutes and get tons of posts here from the forums about legitimate complaints, but because the person who started the thread says they haven't worked 30, or whatever is seniority in your region, or is seasonal the answers come out to things like "tough luck" and "don't rock the boat." I'm not against the union, but people who will not benefit in any way, why should they contribute to the union? If we had something in the contract where it explicitly says season employees are covered and provided the same contractual benefits of the "permanent" workers then there is no reason why they shouldn't pay dues. Maybe give a pass on initiation fees until they're "permanent", but the field is not level and I just can't see why seasonal workers should pay fees much less initiation fees. [/QUOTE]
