[QUOTE="AssistantSanta, post: 918104, member: 38503"] [b]Re: Pros and Cons of not joining the union? Hub worker candidate here in At-Will sta[/b] There seems to be a confusion in this thread. It is *NOT* right to work state where I am. So, I'll be paying agency fee anyways but membership(thus being subject to union discipline) is optional. It is my right. Are my coworkers going to be professional about it or are they going to make me a target of workplace violence and/or harassment because I choose not to participate in union activity such as as trike? First, ok. I don't care what "most" do. I'd want to evaluate the pros and cons myself. As for the numbers, are they given proper explanation of membership and given an easy yes/no option at the time of hire? Are new hires given accurate and clear information and not misled in anyway concerning union membership? Are they given the option to join/not join in a clear and open manner? (i.e. on upsjobs.com application, buttons showing "optional union membership would you like to join once hired? yes/no ) They made me fill out union forms when I joined as a helper and I was told I need to work with the union to resign. It seems that new hires are automatically joined into to get out of it, they'll have to draw attention to themselves and write a resignation letter. Am I wrong? [/QUOTE]
