[QUOTE="RTW FTW, post: 5341078, member: 99161"] The labor manager told me that they make deals with the union. They may make a deal to let the union get two people’s jobs back, as long as the union bats for them on the target employee. Merit didn’t matter in these agreements. It was all personal. If backdoor deals exist, as I’ve witnessed personally and from the outside, people should have the right to not send money to people that conspire with their future. Most people are reasonable and know the dues are an excellent deal, for what you supposed to get. Would people drop out for petty things? Yes. But the number is insignificant in the big picture. I don’t blame people that get representation to ostracize “scabs”. Sounds like a mystical local to me, but I’ve heard rumors. RTW provides the opportunity to place the responsibilities on both sides, versus one. We are all a product of our environments. I’ll stand for what I believe in, even if it’s alone. I’ve gotten more jobs back than the local in my building. That’s a shame [/QUOTE]
