$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mattduke', 'A')fter joining one of my first jobs I had, when i was 14 years old, I discovered was a "union" operation. I stated my preference not to join the union, and received a verbal thrashing from the adult employees who demanded I pay their union dues. That was my first and last experience with unions. I never figured out why adults were doing a job 14 year-olds could do.
Without a union, your wage would have been lower. Would you have rather made a lower wage and the owner make more profit? Do you value your labor so little?
Obama and the Dems should have passed card check, as they promised. Anyone getting a job in any of the 50 states -- yes you too Texas -- should get a form when first hired asking if they want a union. Every six months, there should be a vote on a union in every workplace in America.
It's time for the lower 80% to stand up for themselves -- nobody else will.
