Case in point:
I'm semi-retired, work 15-20 hours at a local grocery store which is part of the UFCW union (United food and commercial workers).
The first letter I received when I HAD to join the union was:
Welcome to the union, make sure you pay your dues ON TIME!
That was it, AND, because of 0bozocare and reduced employee hours, I'm considered a FULLTIME worker and have to pay fulltime monthly dues.
It's a scam to keep union boss's fat paychecks and to back socialist candidates.
Looking for other part-time work.
I take it your state is not a Right-to-Work state.
