midnight Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Can't help you here. Most places I worked were anti-union. But I know several people who praise unions. Iron workers, welders, electricians, etc. Those hard working, dirty, can curse you out without taking their cigarette out their mouths types.

Raptorpat Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Pros: Better pay, hours, benefits, representation in labor disputes, you aren't stuck negotiating for yourself Cons: probably not merit pay, seniority rules the day, you can't negotiate for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Been in 2 unions at 2 different jobs. Can't really complain but also can't really say I notice too much of a difference now in my non-union job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
