[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 1238255, member: 44554"] Yes, my local is obviously run by people who are very unwise, very greedy, or criminal. Or all three. Because yes, the initiation fee is $500 big ones from me, who will not be working after Jan. 1st and have zero coverage under the contract. Lynnfield (North), Mass. center. Stone, if I DID have some benefits under the lovely Teamster contract I would be glad to pay the [S]extortion[/S] initiation fee. How about this, little boy? You go into a supermarket and before you go in they put their hands into your pocket and remove your money. The food prices are still obscenely high and you get nothing in return except empty pockets. Anyone who thinks it's ok to force me into paying dues when I have no coverage or benefits under the contract is extremely stupid, blind and misguided. If they drive, it's a miracle they don't crash their package car daily. Yes, unions are good and needed. Workers should have rights, benefits and strength in n umbers. But what it's become, at least some of the union management, is a legalized criminal operation. [/QUOTE]
