[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 542626, member: 18044"] The stated goal of the Teamsters, and Organized Labor in general, is that [U]all[/U] workplaces be union. Thus when you say an applicant can always seek non-union employment elsewhere this is only true in practice because Organized Labor has been shrinking steadly for half a century and is down to about 8% of the private sector workforce. If they had their way, there would be no non-union workplaces to apply too. Secondly, in some local areas, there may only be one, two or three employers, and they may all be unionized, so any applicant in that local area may be forced to join a union even now. It's also worth mentioning that at UPS job applicants are first hired and work 30 days or more. Only [U]afterwards[/U] does the Union enter into the picture and demand the employee join and pay dues, or be fired for refusing to join. [/QUOTE]
