I've worked for over 45 years, never joined a union, and if unsatisfied with wages or conditions of employment, simply voted with my feet. Ivan Vegvary Good luck with that one. Want a free lunch at the expense of dues-paying union members? --then vote for "right to work laws" and kiss everybody's pay and benefits goodbye, including your own... |
