Not going to go into too many details here, but I have personally seen
wages and benefits go DOWN after union's came in. Most recently last
year, people went from $24 an hour to $19.60 an hour and benefits while
on par with what the company had offered were twice as expensive as here
in Canada a union is a FOR PROFIT business.
The last union I was forced into back in the 90's, I went from $9.50 an
hour to $6.85 an hour. Plus I had to pay union dues of $22 every 2 weeks.
Those were some $$$$$$ union dues when you make $6.85 an hour. That company
went out of business 6 months after the union came in, they didn't have any
employees left.
I'm not anti-union, but I don't believe they should be a for profit business.
