Should raises be for union dues payers only?

[jimdandy3]

Should the free riders get the same benefits in the RTW states with the new contract?

Pretty sure they will either way...

 

[BigBrown87]

That would only benefit the company financially and if we did strike give all the more reason to cross in RTW states.

It’s a legal obligation

 

[iruhnman630]

Whatever the employer and employee agree to

 

[HarryWarden]

You shouldn’t be able to work a union job if you don’t pay union dues. Put your money where your mouth is and go get a different non union job

And half the Teamsters on here won’t vote their job when it comes time and vote for party line drivel instead.

 

[Coldworld]

Why do freeloaders still get union representation if they don’t want to join?

 

[nWo]

Then stop voting for RTW Republicans.

You’re right, I should vote for the people who want a man in a dress to spend time with my daughter.

What if that man would only tax you 2 percent on your income?

How much will Union dues rise?

I'm going to guess it will be $125/month now.

No problem paying it. The negotiated raises, pension and health insurance it provides would cost way more.

Well worth it

Look up “exclusive representation” unions fought hard to be “forced” to represent non paying members. Their preference would be to force dues, but in rtw states exclusive representation is second best for the union. If they didn’t represent all employees then scabs could have their own contract (ups- hey we will pay you a dollar more if you join the tome union) or more likely a competitive union that promised better protection or benefits could come in. Under current law the only way for a workforce to change from one union to another would be to decertify, then re certify a new union which would result in a period without representation. The free riders are a small price to pay to avoid competition

so sounds like the best solution is no RTW

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Well worth it

This up front raise is definitely going to be a big windfall for the union

Well I am a dues paying member in a rtw state and am sure I’m the minority, but I think the best solution is to offer a good service that people are happy to pay for. Having the option of replacing the union with another one? That would put real pressure on them to do better. I’m unaware of another situation where a legally enforced monopoly is considered a benefit except in unions.
