Simple copy and paste, which if you read the FAQ there are clear rules against. I guess if you are willing to endanger not only yourself but this great board so many of us call home or a few laughs it is your right.
There was a big deal about plagiarism and the use of others material in the media not too long ago.
When the unions are all finally out of business and the companies go back to cutting your pay so much that at the end of the week you are still in the red people will want them back. Remember the coal miners that started the unions? They got sick of going deeper in debt every week and working for worthless coal company money. Some unions have abused the power they have, a person should have to work for the decent wage that the union has fought for. All I'm saying is if it wasn't for the union EVERY job out there would be paying their employees much less than what they are making now.
I may have plagiarized that last post. Maybe.
That's a pretty bold statement. And nonsense.
I lost $5,000.00 in benefits when we went union. The owner made a "special" deal with the business manager. This "special" deal means my boss gets to make up his own rules and we get zero representation from the union. When we ask questions to the BA, it goes straight back to our boss and he chews our rear ends out.
So I pay local dues, national dues, and death benefits to a organisation that does not represent me at all.
It is pretty transparent here that you are only trying to use the rules, because you _think_ it supports your opinion.

There is no risk of lawsuit here.
There is a great risk in offending thin-skinned people.
I was FORCED to join a union to be a grocery bagger when I was in high school (and working 2 or 3 nights a week).
Why? Because of the company you decided to work for
Reality is that modern unions led to downfall of GM and only have a purpose, in today's world, in extremely specialized skilled labor.
Good luck with your hopes and dreams.

You too? I'll never forget it...after I made it past the 90 day period, the union starting taking their cut from my Kroger bag boy paycheck. Retroactive to the first day I first started bagging groceries and cleaning the bathrooms of course.
I asked the union steward what being in the union got me. He mentioned things like benefits and vacation time and stuff like that. Things that he then mentioned that I didn't get as only a part time grocery bagger. He shrugged his shoulders when I asked why I had to pay dues into an organization that didn't represent me in any way and then got mad when I asked him if it was some form of legalized extortion.
I'll never forget it...Spring Break...no school, so I got all the hours I could get. I worked 32 hours and was so looking forward to that big fat paycheck. $64 dollars was my net check after taxes and the union cut, which I also learned was a sliding scale sort of payment since I was still in arrears on my dues.
My dealings with the UAW at GM and Delphi plants across the country were mainly being written up for a grievance if I got caught carrying computers or physically plugging them in, in the plants.
Same here, was also a Kroger bag boy in high school (2006-2007). Paid union initiation and weekly dues. Never once got a copy of the contract. Never once saw or heard of a union steward, business agent, or any other union rep.
I made 6.10 an hour (minimum wage was still 5.15), had no benefits of course, but still paid dues.
can't you choose to NOT JOIN a union? I've never worked a job where there was a union for it, but I do know that a guy I worked with was a USW worker and had been out of work for almost a year, and his union rep helped him get a job at a different local.
I also know that the coal mine my great-grandfather got fired from for trying to unionize blew up a week after he was fired.
that said, I know that unions can do a lot in the way of extortion like the grocer's union and that the UAW is one of the prime reasons for the near collapse of GM.
Not only that, IN is an employment at will state meaning you can be fired for ANY or NO reason at all.Indiana isnt a Right To Work state. Meaning if its a closed shop, union membership is required.
