So according to you I get screwed by the company. Yet you get screwed by both the company and the union. You're better off how?
If your perception is that your employer is ..."screwing"...you,....that would be your opinion....
If your opinion is that both the Union and our employer is doing the same to us,......I think you'd have to prove you have better empirical evidence than those of us who are actually working under a collective bargaining agreement have.
Kind of hard to do if you have no experience with a Union or an employer under a collective bargaining agreement.
Collective bargaining is protected under the First Amendment,...as codified by the National Labor relations Act of 1938. That's why it's not illegal to be in a Union in this country. We're supporting the First Amendment.
We, at least,.....get to discuss and propose work rules, pay, and health care. We can accept,...continue bargaining,...or go on strike,...and continue to bargain while on strike. In the event of an impasse,..potentially, a Federal mediator may step in. Union provides strike benefits while negotiations continue.
All this probably sounds very complicated,...and there are very many political issues within our Union to take into account,.....but to summarize:......Our future is truly in our hands.
You,...on the other hand,....working for a non-Union employer,.......can only take what they offer,...or quit,......
If they change your health care,....or pay,...or seniority,.....or anything,...even on a daily basis,....you have only two options.:...Accept, or quit.
Any..."screwing"....being done to us,....comes out of our taking responsibility for said "screwing",...and only by our voted acceptance.
