Yea, I hear that too. Thankfully I'm in a white collar union (SPEEA) and many of us believe that the union is a horrible thing, especially in a white collar enviornment. But you are correct, many people will not be an objector due to the thought of what might happen to them.

But I'll tell you what, we're going through massive layoffs right now, and do you think the union is doing anything to help those people? Heck no!

So I say that my conscious is worth more than some minor protection from a layoff. I have a marketable skill, and I figure if I feel the company is not treating me right, I'll just take my skills somewhere else. I don't need no stinkin' union....

Oh, and for the claim that I put undue pressures on my fellow employees because I do not pay full dues, well thats a wash. I still pay for my contract to be negotiated, just not all the other things, like massive amounts to the democratic fund. Let you conscious guide the way......

No good worker does, just the lazy and incompetent need the unions. Unions eventually destroy all they control. I applaud you.
