Having been in a union and also having been salaried, this is one of the reasons I am anti union.
Yeah? Well, I make 32% less than I did 3 years ago because of union concessions. I also lost 8 years of severance pay and 4 weeks of sick time. Yeah, I still have a job, but I have so much resentment it eats at me and makes me hate the place I work. I now have no loyalty to them whatsoever and if I could get out of there I would.
