[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 816584, member: 16651"] Hubrat; If it's any consolation, I happen to agree with you; I don't believe either that non-members should receive union benefits. By that I mean that the union shouldn't have to represent them, and that they should have to and/or be allowed to negotiate their compensation packages and treatment on their own. That would mean, however, that the union would have to give up its sole representative status...and I don't think they'll agree to that as long as they have breath in their lungs. The LAST thing a union wants is for independent workers to negotiate on their own; for example, offer to work more or less efficiently for compensation and/or treatment significantly different from the average. In that sense, I'm still waiting for a TRUE "right to work" environment; i.e. - where workers negotiate their own wages, benefits, and treatment, and employers are free to continue employ them "at will"...and get rid of them when they don't measure up. Most of the private employment in this country today is done on that basis already....but the minor sector that isn't has cost this country a ton economically, if only in the number of jobs that have been scared away.
