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

It is not in any company’s or manager’s best interest to terminate a good employee

This is a line of thinking that few union members have. First of all, there are very few absolutes in this world. Unions have their moments, but overall, they have out lived their use.

Seniority is a world that should never be used. It means nothing. Produce, or don’t produce. That is what matters.

Training....unions do not train more than all companies. They train individuals more than crappy companies. Good companies train employees. Even if it means losing them eventually (like my company).

I have seen the phrase - “annual raises” or “guaranteed raises” - used a number of times in this thread. IF the company is doing well, than go ahead and receive that raise. If the company has a bad year, why does anyone “deserve” a cost of living/annual/guaranteed raise?? You don’t.

Bottom line is the if you are good at you job, someone will pay you well. If you suck.....well you will get what you sow.
