[QUOTE="hondo, post: 787511, member: 8661"] Short answer: If you're in a 'Right To Work' state, then no, you do not need to join the union. [LEFT] If you're not in a 'Right To Work' state, it would be considered a 'closed shop', and you would either have to: [LIST=1] [*]Join the union (sign a card & pay an initiation fee & pay dues). [*]Don't join the union (don't sign card, pay initiation fee or regular dues). You would be required to pay a 'service' or 'agency' fee (less than regular dues). If you don't pay, you don't work. Maybe apply for management position. [/LIST] As a seasonal worker in a non-RTW state, you would likely pay dues, but not initiation fee (because as a seasonal/temporary worker you're not entitled to seniority (permanent employee status)). [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
