forced as in you have to join the union to work here, so I did. didn't fully know then what a farce it was or I never would have worked there.

punishes good workers by holding them down to lower standards. Work ethic or skill makes no difference, if there is an opening for a higher level job with more money does it go to the guy who is better? no, it goes to the dunce who happened to start 1 week before you cuz seniority. doesn't matter that this dunce misses work all the time and has the skill of a door stop.

What finally soured me on unions the most was a friend of mine (female) was sexually harassed at work. She reported it, there were witnesses the whole deal, there was never any question he did it, he even admitted it. But here comes the union to save the day! they fought and he got to keep his job due to the fact he wasn't aware he couldn't do that or some bull. Where was my friends union representation? why didn't they fight for her to get that guy fired? she paid the same dues as he did.
