office workers are seldom unionized unless they are government

curious why that is. other than the obvious safety sensitivity of a lot of unionized jobs.

Because the company I work for actually takes care of their employees. My former job, it's rare for retail to get unionized.

That's great news. Ford is full of shit saying they can't afford to pay for those demands. With GDP up in the nation, for sure they can.

This. And more importantly take care of performers even more.

My little brother worked retail (Meijers, midwest grocery chain) night shift stocking and they were unionized (UAW for some reason). He was young and gung ho, threw up two-three aisles per night for less than minimum wage after you took his union dues out. Another 70 year old dude struggled to handle only the coffee 1/2 aisle in a shift but had been there for so long he made $30+/hr.

That's the only gripe I have with unions - the best CANNOT climb and the worst CANNOT be fired/pay cut. Negotiate safety like the old days, but these unwavering locked in pay scales are utterly nonsense.

My union dues are less than $100 a month and I make decent money for what I do.

My place is weird af. Other locations are unionized, but mine isn't and the other locations are different unions. This somehow trickles down a lot of the things that these unions fought for go towards the non union folks as well because otherwise everyone would transfer. I don't fully understand it, but I'm getting a lot of benefits without needing to pay union dues.
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

From what I've seen, the Meijer Union is complete shit. Not all their stores are even unionized. And I have to wonder what kind of insane dues he was being charged if it dropped his hourly wage to below minimum.

I just started at a Midwest grocery store. Starting pay was $17/hr and union dues are $10/week. I'm only working about 25 hours a week and taking out the dues would, it theory, put me around $16.50/hr.
The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

I would quit if a union tried to come in our shop. I get spoiled as is and don't have to pay union tax.
I'm an artist at what I do. I fuel the fire, watch it burn, and laugh all the while.
