I wasn’t talking about anyone’s husband or wife, but thanks for that personal note.
My husband would get a call from a TV station asking him to work a football game. No BEGGING him to work a football game. So he would. Because unions control that and because the game took place in a non right to work state, they would hound him to death about it. They wanted money from him, He only worked these jobs once or twice a year at most. He didn’t want to join. They would take money from the employer and place it in a 401k account. Chump change. Then they would take the money right back out in administration fees. It was always a zero balance in very short order. All it was to us was junk mail. BUT the IRS tried to say they we could not contribute to our own IRA because we had a 401k. We did not have a 401k. We had a nuisance junk mail problem claiming we had a 401k from a union we did not belong to. We could not get information from the union because we were not members. It was a nightmare. We had to go to tax court.
I hate unions.
