I haven't been in one since I was in a company small enough to not qualify for unions anyways.Odd thing is, I am amazed that people aren't aware of the good that unions did early on that also benefit non-union people as well. Vacation Healthcare Coverage Sick Leave Weekends Off Social Security (Keep in mind prior to the New Deal and Labor Unions, Americans had no retirement plans) Minimum Wage 8 Hour Work Day 40 Hour Work Week Unemployment Insurance Pensions (Now gone and replaced by 401K and similar plans) Collective Bargaining Rights for Employees Public Education for Children Please stop pretending labor unions did not play a role in helping American workers to attain Middle-Class status because they did. --- SpankageBros ...
