[QUOTE="SloppyJoes7, post: 787597, member: 31997"] Sorry for the multiple posts, but I'm making multiple replies. And[B] yes, I'm sincere, and want to learn more about unions[/B]. I've worked for two places that had unions. For one (Safeway) I was too young to join, and for the other (UPS) nobody ever approached me about joining. So, I don't know from experience how it works. I've only read about it. Anyway, hondo, you're confusing me. In 1947, the Taft-Hartley Act made the closed shop illegal. However, what you described in point "2" is a union shop, not a closed shop, so I think that's what you meant. And, are you saying that for UPS, management isn't part of the union? I guess that would make sense. And when I was a seasonal worker, nobody ever talked about the union to me. I asked a few questions about it, but nobody ever seemed to think it was relevant to me. And yes, Colorado is [B]not [/B]a RTW state. It does have some slightly RTW-friendly laws, but I believe you can be forced to pay agency fees, so it is not RTW. [/QUOTE]
