[QUOTE="mamirk69, post: 1203762, member: 34893"] This was an interesting thread. I will say this and leave it at this. The union is great when you have the right individuals in office taking care of all the members and not their special interest groups that happened to vote for them in an election. The union in the south is poor for many reasons and it starts with better communication, horse trading and deals being made left and right with individuals being used as chest pieces. BA's are greener than ever and nothing ever of meaning gets resolved or as some would say "individuals are fighting the wrong fights." Laughable, especially when people were fighting for full time jobs but that is the wrong fight. The foundation Unions were built on being better pay, benefits, and equality etc., etc., makes sense but as we see in Congress what makes sense does not always turn out right. As to rights, in a right to work state, an individual has all the same rights as a union member except voting on union officials and of course the strike fund but outside of that; it is even across the board even down to voting on the contract but that individual would have to go through the headache of going through the union to receive a ballot. I have read some comments by some people I know on this board and I have to shake my head. Sometimes it is best to say nothing at all then to bring this façade of individuals being poor workers based on their union activity. [/QUOTE]
