[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 540894, member: 198"] Good post. That is exactly why so many people don't join. The die hard union members always fire back by saying that if everyone would join then the locals would have enough dues coming in to be able to afford better representation. Well, a few years ago someone posted a link to a site where we could look up the expenditures for all of the locals. A bunch of guys in my centers logged on and were furious with what they saw. So, I logged on and check it out. They were right. The locals weren't hurting for cash. I'm not sure about whether or not our representation is that bad here. I haven't experienced anything like that yet. But when I looked at those expenditures reports I could kinda of see their point. Most of the part-timers in my building aren't in the union. It hasn't hasn't always been this way. As far as I can tell they get the same representation that us full-timers get. I do think that part-timers get screwed in the contracts. If it were up to me their starting pay would be at least $10/hr. [/QUOTE]
