[QUOTE="brett636, post: 932430, member: 249"] Even though I will now have the option of not paying dues I will continue to pay them because I believe I get pretty fair representation, and I imagine most of my fellow full timers will continue paying dues as well. Its the part-timers the union will have to really work on. When I started there was no union representative present at my new employee orientation. We were handed a sheet of paper that said we were in a union and the dues were "x" amount and that was that. We signed the paper and moved on, and it shows how little the union is involved when you look at our current crop of part time employees who don't know their contractual rights or why they are in a union at all. That will have to change now that the union has to sell itself to all new and current part time employees. The union has been selling a mantra of "the sky is falling!", and it has been effective as I ran into someone who was convinced our wages were going to be cut as soon as the bill goes into effect. In the end little will change for the current employees, and even new employees only they will finally get an idea of what the union is, who is representing them, and a better idea of why they should pay dues.
