| It can keep you out of trouble for the most part. Harassment from higher ups stop. But if your union doesn't have the power to strike. Then its not much of any good when you want to get something changed. I was in a union, it helped out some. All the office personel hated me after i joined and tried to make work hell for me.. but I brushed it off and smiled about it. Made them even more mad.. which means I won. We didn't hav ethe power to strike though and it made everything kind of hard. Unions aren't what they used to be... but they still help.

All of that is untrue with the union I held cards to. I'm not going to argue about it.

| I learned everything I needed to about unions when I picked up a few loads in a unionized factory. They were not in any hurry to help me and didnt care If I waited all day to get loaded. It seems to me that union workers lost all of the work ethics and pride that they should have. I think all you have to say is GM...when considering a union.

| Not necessarily. If I went to the union here it would mean a $3 an hour pay cut.
