way less than $3 a day


I went looking and found that typical union dues range from 1-4.5% of wages paid, but one thing that kept popping up was that dues are roughly 2 hours of wages.

According to glass door this says server wages range from $20-$33/hr in LA with a median of $25. That means an average of $50/month if it’s 2 hours of wages.

Glass door Waffle House wages

$50/$3 means union dues would cost you the same as the meal deductions for nearly 17 shifts.

Now, if the workers unionize, I bet the meals for $3 goes away and the entire retail price of the meal will be deducted from the paycheck.

So if the workers unionize. They will still pay the equivalent of 85% of the meal deduction while getting no meals, and then on top have to pay for full meals.

I understand they may get more money per hr, but I doubt they come out ahead finically, at least initially.

Hey everybody, look at this guy who did some math, a modicrum of research and presented a resonable and defensible position.

What a nerd.

Marx was right! Eat the bourgouise!
