I think the mention of unions like the UAW and Chicago’s Operators and Teamsters Unions and where these people are at should sum up that unions have outlived their cause.

I started writing this to rant my own frustrations with unions, however I see some people summed it up quite nicely already. the fact that this post was started in 2007 and people still post is a big indicator that something should be done and should have been done years ago.

I’ll briefly describe my mothers story – 5 & 1/2 years working and paying union dues (not that she wanted to), diagnosed with cancer, manager finds out and fires her on erroneous charges ONE WEEK before her surgery, the union DOES NOTHING!!! Does she get reimbursed for all those years she has been paying those blood suckers? No those lazy bums did not even do their job and fight for her.

unions may have had noble causes once and some still advocate for workers, but most are useless.

unions do not belong in the 21’st century!

I had a job which paid well,always produced the best and was a needed aspect for the company. The Union came in and had to hire 4 people to take my place.I hope they fail miserably…and they will…I was told by a former union member..”Unions are for lazy people”…I agree……..Unions Suck!

I worked in the Carpenter’s Union for two years and went through their apprenticeship program. Not only were the employers paying for the training we were receiving but so was the State of Alaska and the Department of Labor(YES WIth tax dollars). Well, they figured they still were not bringing in enough money for this over-inflated training center so they decided to rape the retirement of its own members. All new apprentices had to forfeit most or a portion of their defined contribution dollars for 5 years to this place. Over 5 years it came to 22 thousand dollars. With compound interest, given a 25 -30 year career that could mean hundreds of thousands out of ones pocket when you need it. Not the mention the fact why would the union training center need an additional 750k a year from their members for??? What a joke….you basically have a group of idiots who had squandered their own retirements based on low contributions and bad investments and leaving nothing for their apprentices. Thanks Stan Hunt and John Palmatier. I declared bullshit and left that whole thing to the idiots who could swallow that pill.

I love the these union guys who complain about jobs and services going overseas. while they get paid 8 hours pay for a 6 hour day and dont realize that the money they see on their check is only half that the employer is paying.

I am an IBEW contractor. Every one in my office gets excellent health care coverage. I cover an average family of 4 for about 650.00 a month.

My union techs get health care 1/2 as good as what my office workers get at a cost $1600.00 per month.(Paid to the union) married or single. To top that, if they work 5 years straight paying these extra high fees and get laid off, they are getting a cobra form from the union within a Month.

Wake up… Union are bad for the worker and worse for America.

Unions suck money from there people who really dont know any better. Thats why the number one rule for getting into a union is to act dumb for your interview because they are really not interested in people that can think for themselves.
