At least in my RTW state you have to opt in. I was never asked to join the union when I was hourly and the only time I have heard it offered is when one of my sorters became an air driver.Do you have to "opt out"?
You want the benefits of a union job, but don't want to pay the dues which help keep the union running to get those benefits...REALLY???How did I know just pay your dues was coming. I have the right to not pay dues. Attorney.....yes I said attorney. He is a national right to work attorney at that. I contacted my local union and they said if you work you pay dues. I said no I have a choice and she told me no you do not. Ummmm as I said before I live in a right to work state!
Agreed but it will make this thread that much more enjoyable to readYou don't need an attorney!!
I live in a "Right To Work" state and I can say I never seen or heard this happened. When I first started I didn't join the union until my 6th monthMy attorney I spoke to wants to file this at the NLRB in Atlanta. He said the cannot start your dues without written consent. Said it is illegal and the will mediate this for free and get me my money back. Just wondering if anyone has gone through this????
Out of purely personal interest, and if you don't mind sharing, did they take make you pay back dues for those 6 months you weren't a part of it?I live in a "Right To Work" state and I can say I never seen or heard this happened. When I first started I didn't join the union until my 6th month
I agree I do not need an attorney, but hey it is for free so why not use it?Agreed but it will make this thread that much more enjoyable to read
