    my union dues are $60 a paycheck

    but the price is worth it when my boss has to abide by my job description and has to pay me for overtime.

    i recently told the deputy IT director that what they asked for was not in my job description and that she should familiarize herself with it. I could tell by her reaction, the union is strong and having an understanding of what it’s there for is powerful against a bad boss

      I had no idea unions charged the members for membership! Guess it makes sense, who the fuck else is going to reliably support/fund unions

        Unions (in the UK at least) often provide financial support for striking workers so the money needs to come from somewhere.
