[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1181242, member: 44954"] First off, I pay dues even though I don't have to. I think most stewards will agree if an employee doesn't join when they start, they probably won't ever join. If you show up to work on time everyday and don't talk [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]e to your supervisor, why do you need the union... you've gotten by fine without them so far, so when you start getting the benefits whats the point of joining? I know we would all be better off if everyone joined but that's just not gonna happen, the politicians who passed the right to work laws know this; weakening unions was the entire point. How is it different here? People who file have a target on their back all day every day. They WILL fire you. They will find a reason. Yes, you may get your job back, but in the long run its just not worth it. You're not gonna change the world by standing up for your rights, all you will get is a target on your back. I don't like it but this is the reality down here. You pick your battles, take your paycheck, and try and pay the bills. [/QUOTE]
