It gets you a 10 cent raise per hour once you have paid your first $300 dues.
And that is not made up. That is a union for a local mach9ine shop. You MUST join the union after 90 days and during that 90 days they deduct 1/12 of your annual dues from your weekly paycheck. After complete, you get a 10 cents raise which amounts to about $200 for the year.
So 300 gets you 200 back. Sounds like a plan.
 
and i bet the unions had a cow when the Supremes ruled that corporations could make contributions.. hypocrisy is endless. Priceless too.. :lol::lol:
 
Let's make a distinction between unions in the private sector and the public employee versions. The latter get the legislative branches to act as their negotiating team to enact and protect goldplated compensation, benefits, and pension plans - at taxpayer expense. (Although with the Casey pension reform bill, the private sector unions are going to get this as well).
 
You get to contribute to the political campaign coffers of politician you may not agree with politically .

What? Union dues are not for strike funds? Your telling me that if they FORCE you to strike all thoe dues arent going to pay my bills?

OMG! LMAO!
 
Unions only care about the check in their own pocket. They care about buying dirty politicians. The dues you pay is just money flushed down the toilet.

Bill Summary & Status - 111th Congress (2009 - 2010) - S.3157 - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

Am I reading this right??

They want to take 165 billion taxpayer dollars to bail out the Union pension funds??

Is that about right??

If so then this Casey is a flamming idiot.

Why in the hell would we taxpayers want to bail out a UNION pension???

Let the UNION raise its dues and take care of their own pension shortcomings.

The more I see of the self serving Clowns in DC who supposedly represent we the taxpayer, the more I know they are all crooked theives.
