易胜博官网

Being an employee at 易胜博官网 for the past 25 years in the housing department, I have come to appreciate the fairness and respect I have received from 易胜博官网. I have received a decent pay raise every year, while two union worker friends of mine went four years without a pay raise and only a small pay raise in the fifth year. There is no need for a union/middleman negotiator on my behalf.

There are some big negatives to having a union/middleman here at 易胜博官网. 鈥淣o cap on Earned Time Accumulation鈥� would no longer have to be honored by 易胜博官网听and 鈥渟eparation incentive payouts鈥� upon retirement will likely disappear. When I was a union worker in the 1980s I received 鈥渘o鈥� paid vacations or paid holidays.听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听

Most unions require new members to pay an 鈥渋nitiation Fee鈥� (my 鈥渋nitiation fee鈥� was $300 when I joined a union in the 1980s) so it鈥檚 probably around $1,000 now. Unions often require members to pay special fees during collective bargaining negotiations, and these are usually at least $100 per member. On union jobs, union stewards usually sit around all day and do nothing (while making a lot more money than regular workers), while regular workers have to work all day. 听听听听听听

Remember that if union/middleman get into 易胜博官网, staff benefits might not be as good. I heard in a news report that most union benefit plans involve heavy employee paycheck deductions and a $5,000 deductible per individual when anything medical is involved, which is totally inferior to the medical benefits that 易胜博官网 staff presently receive.

In conclusion, I think that 易胜博官网 staff will be far better off if they remain non-union.听
