[QUOTE="RTURNSONLY, post: 1101928, member: 42148"] When talking to co-workers about why we should organize and join the union[U] NOW[/U], I feel it's also important to mention the following facts, which are mentioned in the IBT website [url=http://www.teamster.org/]International Brotherhood of Teamsters | International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT)[/url] facts that come directly from the U.S. Department of Labor. I think these numbers speak for themselves: Wages of union members are, on average, [B]27 percent [/B]higher than those of workers without union representation. [LIST] [*][B]Women[/B] in unions earn an extra $170 a week – $9,000 more a year. [*][B]African Americans[/B] in unions earn an extra $150 a week – $8,000 more a year. [*][B]Latinos[/B] in unions earn an extra $225 a week – $11,650 more a year. [/LIST] 88 percent of union workers have job-related [B]health coverage[/B] while only 69 percent of non-union workers do. More than two out of three union jobs offer a [B]dental plan[/B]; only 44 percent of non-union workers receive dental coverage. More than half all union jobs offer [B]vision coverage[/B]; only about one-quarter of non-union jobs provide vision care. 85 percent of union jobs offer [B]prescription drug coverage[/B]; only 66 percent of non-union jobs provide prescription drug coverage. Union workers pay an average of 8 percent of the [B]total monthly premium[/B] (employer pays 92 percent) for single coverage; non-union workers pay 20 percent. Union households pay an average of 12 percent of the monthly premium for family coverage while non-union families pay 32 percent. 72 percent of union workers have a guaranteed defined-benefit [B]pension[/B] compared to 15 percent of non-union workers. Also, the IBT website has a "ORGANIZE" tab that I urge everyone use, in addition to calling-in and following Ricochets' excellent advice as to how to pull it off. [/QUOTE]
