much is skimmed off by the union then of course the government has a field day ...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Before I retired, about 17 years ago, union dues were typically two hours pay per month. I understand that it has gone to 2.5 hours pay per month now.

I owned Union and non Union compaines over various periods of time in Calif.

The union employee does have a direct pay to the union as dues but medical, vacation and retirement are also paid indirectly. The union then provides those benefits but are part of the payroll package paid by the employer.

I have never had a gripe w the working man just the Gov and unions .

Hope if you’ve retired you’re getting what was promised to you and if your wife survives you she his covered too. Have seen many ugly things over the years w unions and of course gov.

The purpose of my post was to illustrate the wage cost vs normal private wage scales and then the burden placed on the taxpayer.
