[QUOTE="Brown Spider, post: 1432128, member: 52461"] And where exactly did I offer a hypothetical of everyone leaving the union because it's free? It's nowhere in the quote that you provided because I never said it. What I did say is accurate and I stand by it. The union relies on dues revenue to provide representation. The withholding of that dues revenue by you and your RTW freeloader buddies hampers the local union. If 5 or 10 RTW freeloaders opt out of the union, it may not matter much. If 100 RTW freeloaders opt out of the same bargaining unit, the union may consider disclaiming interest in that bargaining unit and I wouldn't blame them. Good riddance! As for the $250k-$400k salaries, glad that you clarified that it's your local. Too damn bad, huh Smurf? In my local, the union officials make just a bit more than a UPS driver and they work a lot more hours. But the again, we don't have any RTW freeloaders here, so the meetings are well attended and increases to the officers are presented to the membership and voted on. Ya' see Smurf, an active and involved membership is what keeps local union officials on the straight and narrow...not some fear of RTW freeloaders as you've suggested in the past. ps: Sharpen up those reading comprehension skills, Smurf.
