[QUOTE="SloppyJoes7, post: 795687, member: 31997"] In a competitive market, [B]I don't agree that union jobs pay more or give better benefits.[/B] You seem to have missed this point, even though I've made it about a dozen times now. Others have even provided examples of FedEx vs UPS pay scales. I haven't done my own research on this particular comparison, as it would surely be a lot more complicated than $/hour. However, I am confident they are competitive. To answer your earlier question, right now I'm going to college full time, so I'm not actually considering a union job right now. I actually quit my last job, and am working on my B.S. in engineering. It is conceivable that I could get a union job, but it is highly unlikely to happen anytime soon, if at all. If I got two job offers, of similar quality, but one was union and one was non-union, that would mean I'd likely take the non-union job. However, why would I consider the union job? Because I'm rational, and that's not my [B]only [/B]consideration. That would be crazy. Of course I'd consider a union job. No job is perfect. And, since I'm a curious person, I wanted to know what it would be like to work for a union company, and what rights/responsibilities I would have. Which is why I signed up on this forum, and why I've asked so many questions. So, have I answered your questions? [/QUOTE]
