Read the small print before applying for a job. If you don't like the practices or pay scales, then go somewhere else that will make you happier. Would you want a stranger walking into your home; telling how to live your life, what to eat, how to clean? NO. so don't try to force an employer to change their focus just to please you. Unions were a great idea at first, but they have become big business themselves.

It's obvious that your knowledge of unions is limited. Workers represent themselves. They are not "strangers sent in from the outside."

Sorry, Townsendart, I spent 3 years under the control of a Union while working at a Grocery Chain. I gained nothing. I lost 1/3 of my pay every month for Union dues. when the Union's decided to Strike, the employees went home with NO pay, while the governors of the Union continued to receive pay. You know--the union dues we paid over the years. !! Like I said before, the Unions were a good idea at first, but then became big business.

Sorry 9aspengold5, I beg to differ with you. Union workers are the voice of the union.

This isn't a communist government. If workers want a union then they should get one. If workers don't want a union then they should't have it. Let the workers take a vote to see if they really would want a union. I don't know maybe the owners don't believe in voting.

you are a great American Patriot, keep up the good fight , Unions equal better pay, secure pensions, and great working conditions.

that's what these "SCAB" companies are afraid of.

why should a company have a union forced down their throat? If you want a union then get a job at a union shop. you were warned and called their bluff. Now you are crying.
Did you do the best thing for your family?
"NO". And if you are such a great worker why aren`t you working else. You made your bed now lay in it. and have a nice day

You knew the policies of this company when you hired in. Who are you to tell the owner how to run his business? Get a job at a union shop if that's what you want to do!
