Not only that but municipal unions can bleed a city dry.

The middle class is vanishing. The income gap is soaring. The rich get richer and the rest get poorer with half of them celebrating on the way down.

...Fuck the collective

You go to bat for yourself or find another job.

Fuck the public sector unions.

why?....does the public sector treat their employees better?....do they have better working conditions?...and who goes to bat for those workers who are getting fucked over?....just wondering todd....

Because they suck. Because they give us unsustainable unfunded public pensions.
End the unions, end the pensions. Give them 401Ks.

i have been in both and one can say they both suck.....but just saying they suck did not answer my question.....who goes to bat for employees when they get fucked over?...

Tears are welling up in my eyes.

Two of the largest public sector unions in the country lost more than 210,000 so-called “agency fee members” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court ruling that said unions could no longer force non-members to pay partial dues. That case, Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, effectively freed public workers from having to make “fair share” payments—usually totaling about 70 to 80 percent of full union dues—in lieu of joining a union as a full-fledged member.

The exact figures are astounding.

Now, annual reports filed with the federal Department of Labor show that the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) lost 98 percent of it’s agency fee-paying members during the past year. Another large public sector union, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), lost 94 percent of their agency fee-paying members. Even though unions were preparing for a mass exodus in the wake of the Janus ruling, the numbers are staggering. In 2017, AFSCME reported having 112,233 agency fee payers (compared to 1.3 million dues-paying members), but that figure dropped to just 2,215 in the union’s 2018 report. The SEIU reported having 104,501 agency fee-payers in 2017 (compared to 1,919,358 dues-paying members), but just 5,812 of them at the end of 2018.
Now, if they can only get Civil Service rules to change so the sluggards can get the boot.

More @ Unions Bleed Dues-Paying Members

It's ugly and they guys are thieves.

Mom Accuses Union of Forging Signature to Deduct Money From Disabled Daughter’s Checks.

Maria Quezambra of California filed a federal lawsuit seeking to recover dues that she says United Domestic Workers Local 3930 (UDW) improperly took from the money that helps her take care of her daughter. She accused the union of misleading her about dues requirements, rebuffing her attempts to recover money, and trespassing on her property.

“Ms. Quezambra did not sign anything indicating she desired to become a union member or pay union dues, and the State began to deduct Union dues from her paycheck automatically,” the suit says. “The Union forged Ms. Quezambra’s signature to justify past dues deductions and to lock her into paying full union dues each year.”

The Supreme Court struck down Illinois’s mandatory dues scheme for home health aides like Quezambra in 2014, ruling that they were not public employees. The Court followed that ruling by forbidding forced public sector unions in 2018. The union never informed Quezambra of her right to abstain from dues payments. Her suit alleges that the union misled her into believing dues were mandatory and delayed her attempts to withdraw.​

Maybe some prison time for fraud would put an end to this crap.

Unions kept wages up for decades, which is why reagan was sent in to destroy them.

That's stupid.

Detroit is what happens when wages are kept higher than earned.

What happened to Detroit was as much Management's fault as the Unions. For decades they were the only game in town, and were lazy in kicking the can down the road with higher than market wages, and benefits, because they didn't want a work stoppage. That is MISMANGEMENT. Then when they had competition from Japan and Europe the SHTF, and they were caught flat footed. To bad, so sad.

A corrupt government / union alliance kept wages artificially high for the lucky few while laundering money into the Democrat Party.

Unions have destroyed every industry that they've dominated.

Not a one of you here works even a tad harder than anybody else. Where did you ever get this false narrative from?

Agreed, but management didn't have to agree to those whacky contracts. They are collapsing under they weight of their PENSIONS, and that is why cars cost as much as they do today.

Our grandparents may have had good unions, today's are thieves, stealing from the working man.
