[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2082432, member: 5485"] If it were possible (and it's currently not) to get a job at UPS as a driver and not pay union dues AND as a result, not receive union bennies, what would that job look like? Hourly rate? Representation? I don't support RTW at all, but I do agree there's an inherent complacency in some cases without it. I was in a RTW state my whole career and yes you definitely do have to do real actual recruiting to get membership. But, there's a new problem aside from just convincing people it's in their best interest. It's hard for some, who come from the non union sector, and who can't appreciate that you, me, and others, by paying our dues, helped to create and sustain the compensation level, to see that they need to continue the practice to ensure it for themselves and beyond. There's just a whole lot more of the "that's great, but it's all about me" crowd involved than ever before. To me, RTW just enables these green horns to damage their future by giving up their ability to speak with one voice. [/QUOTE]
