I can say through 17 yrs and 4 contracts, our local has never asked for anything unreasonable. Our pay is slightly lower than non union plants in our area and our raises are alwaYs in line with the rest of the industry.

So, basically, what you're saying is that there are other places in the area you could do comparable work and get paid more, but you willingly stay with the union, get paid less, and have to pay union dues on top of it.

Please, give me a rational reason why you would choose this arrangement.
