re: Who here is in a union? Do you feel it helps or hurts?

I have never been in one. Never worked anywhere that had a union.


Dad was in a union most of his working life. It was mostly positive, but in the mid-80's it started losing its influence and things started getting worse. Mom had to go back to work, his shifts started being rotated, decrease in health benefits, etc.

I'm mostly a pro-union guy, but recognize there are some issues with them.
