in a previous discussion on this topic someone said non-union people are
profiting from the past (not insubstantial) sacrifices of previous union
members. what do you suppose your pay would be if the union wasn't
there or if there never was a union?

b.w.


I don't think the union effects our wages at all. There is very little
power in the union in this area. What affects our wages in this area in
supply and demand. We have a big problem hiring good people, and when we
find one, we like to keep them! We are continually hiring looking for
good workers.
I get job offers from other companies very often. Some offer more money
than I make with this company, but I like it here so I am no hurry to go.
I am lead service tech and get to pick and choose my work, plus company
truck, company cell phone, come and go when I want, (to a point), so life
is pretty comfy right here.

huh. i thought you were going to say "there's no way to tell for sure",
or something along those lines. "we'd have to replay all of modern
history to see whether or not unions raised the wages of all americans"
etc. or something like that, and to see if non-union people have benefited
from the substantial sacrifices union workers/organizers have made
throughout history.

b.w.

Sorry! ;-)
