[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 917898, member: 12570"] [b]Re: Pros and Cons of not joining the union? Hub worker candidate here in At-Will sta[/b] This discussion reminds me of when my father was in a nursing home in failing health. He was on Medicaid and the hospital administrator assured my brother and I that the staff had no idea who was private pay and who was on Medicaid but the sad reality is that they all knew and the level of treatment/care provided was clearly based on ability to pay. I agree with the OP's basic premise. I dislike the fact that a portion of my dues are used to further the Teamsters' objectives in Washington, DC, through lobbying. Menotyou said the percentage is 92%--it is actually 99.44%. She was also right when she said that if she were BA she would not work as hard for a non-dues paying member as she would for one who does. That is human nature. To the OP--union dues are deductible on your Federal income taxes under unreimbursed job expenses if you itemize. [/QUOTE]
