[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1380565, member: 28856"] We're assuming you're in a right to work state, which means union membership isn't mandatory in a union shop, and as such you get to choose when you join the union. Upstate is good on the advice to a certain extent, as a PTer in the first couple years if you keep your nose clean it's not a bad idea to not join. Either you find something else you want to do or maybe go into supervision, but staying for the long term it's good to join. I won't fault any pter for not joining for a couple years until they get a higher wage, even with the new $10 starting those dues hurt for the new people. Certainly though after you feel comfortable with your wages or get a chance to go FT join, though even if you don't join the union is obligated to defend and submit the grievances you have. Personally I didn't join until I had a little over a year in, but when I asked for my first grievance form I also asked for a union application. [/QUOTE]
