Dues deducted from your pay.. yes true… oh no it’s a whopping $20-50 a pay (spitballing a range.. I pay $44.49 per pay)

No guarantees on pay, benefits or work rules even though it’s extremely unlikely you won’t get better pay, benefits or work rules using that line of thinking the company doesn’t guarantee that either lol

Typically must go through union, not supervisor or manager.. okay for what? I got to my supervisors and managers every day for stuff and even if that is the case so fucking what supervisors and managers don’t have my best interest in mind.

Yeah dues are rarely more than the difference in pay unless they’re busting.

I’ve never been in a union so please pardon my ignorance. Are fees really close to $50 per work day?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, paycheck, and that's really high. I pay $15. Keep in mind apparently a lot here seem to be European and their Unions and jobs aren't really comparable not the US. Our Union benefits, and theirs seem to be very different.

No, per pay period. Mine's about $42 every 2 weeks.

Ahhh ok. Thank you! That is MUCH more reasonable. Barely noticeable for most people, I’d guess.

Ya it’s not really noticeable especially for all its upsides
