bonfire: Don't get me started about the worthiness of unions. My union, the United Steelworkers took me off the job (that's right, the union took me off the job) and kept telling me they had a plan to get me back to work. After 4 years, it turned out there was no plan at all and I was left to rot on the vine. After repetitive prodding, we finally got a an arbitration hearing and even then, the union said to my wife that after 4 years, I didn't make the cut. Once the union learned they could be held legally liable for they did to me (Minnesota State Senate Legal Counsel) they decided they had to schedule me. Then they refused to let the state's best labor attorney, Gregg Corwin of St. Louis Park, represent me to get my job back. bf, do you think the union did everything they could for their dues paying member?
Pensions? Hah, hah. I can't get the union to fight for me to get my 28 years of service applied to my earned pension. They leave it all up to my wife and myself.
Don't give me that crap that we need unions. I would have been better off as an at will employee than the years I was loyal to the union, paid their dues and abided by their rules. Look where the union put me today!
