I read the article. Its a BS opinion piece that is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill at best and outright facetious at worst. The author just points to union leader's wages as being inherently unfair and unjust without actually giving any reasons for those claims. I mean those guys make peanuts compared to many CEO's and Wall St execs but somehow their wages are a huge problem?? Complete BS.
Did you actually look at the UAW link I gave? Did you not see how dues are broken out and where they go in detail?
You're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.
And its quite telling that every time in thread so far you try to present something as factual it turns out to be outright lies that is trivial to disprove.
If you're willing to be dishonest and/or just ignore information then sure yeah we can go back and forth forever.
Realistically though after the post where I linked the UAW dues clearly showing your earlier claims to be false it was obvious to everyone you were all done on this issue.
Hahaha and now we're down to lame insults.
I'm also not a part of any union currently BTW though I wouldn't mind being in one. Workers in my field could certainly use some help though I'm doing OK for the most part I'm unusual.
The point of my statement about you being in a union is the same as what you're doing: thinking you have everything about someone figured out based on a few forum posts. See how utterly wrong that is?
So, show me some "facts" about ALL of the union dues and misc other fees from sheetmetal, pipefitters, carpenters, and postalworkers unions... because those are the different unions my in-laws are claiming that they must pay in around a total of 15-20% of their paychecks from all the various dues, funds, fees, accounts, etc that they say they are required to pay into. I will admit I do not know specifics about all these supposed fees and accounts (like vacation funds, off-work stipend, etc) that they've mentioned, and it is very possible it does include federal and state taxes, health insurance, retirement, etc (which would make sense, given a fifth of their paychecks are supposedly being swept away).
