Well, maybe if you didn't like your union, you should have let them know about it and get others to join YOUR union and complain and get changes made that way. See how it works? ;)

I think it is worse to just sit by and complain and not do anything about it. Don't you?

When I complain, I don't need to have someone else do it for me. Good night.

Collectivist thuggery (unions) have no respect for individual achievement. I prefer to negotiate my own compensation with my employer or customer. I know my capability exceeds most of the other people with whom I'm competing. Unions appeal to masses of people who aren't competitive as individuals. They choose to enrich themselves by threat, coercion, violence and vandalism. I personally observed all of those behaviors from CWA, IBEW and ORTT when I worked at PacBell. I was on the receiving end of vandalism to my personal car by the IBEW when they tried to force me to join and cough up the $60 initiation fee. I also had my home residence phone service cut off by an CWA steward who was angry about my resetting of options on a 212 modem. The jerk ignored requests to do it for months. It took me 10 seconds. Personally, I think he was too incompetent to do what was asked, but took great pleasure at calling his lackeys at the central office to clip my pair.
