| Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category What happened to the "Union Influence in Politics" topic?Even though I initiated it as the debut topic in the Times forums, I'm happy to realize it has been deleted. It died an ugly death long ago, and should have been executed long before it was. I'm curious though... Why? I am unaware of the travesty that occurred that was sufficiently heinous to warrant it's deletion... As compared to the tripe on ALL the other threads that is evident on a daily basis. Member CommentsR1KRA8Munster’s LIE ~ “retiree's no former active union members pay dues” The long-time retired “dues exempt” USW member LIES again ~ “retiree's no former active union members pay dues” . . . “Retired Workers Membership and Dues” ****uaw****/page/retired-workers-membership-and-dues . . . Just why would anybody care about what a non-working long-time retired dues exempt leach on today’s USW workers has to say about the workplace freedom amendment? * * * (ohioansforworkplacefreedom) Posted 10 days ago. MunsterAnd yet the Know Nothing Expert still cant wrap its pea brain around the fact that as retiree's no former active union members pay dues ! So all its typical half-truths and lies don't mean anything ! Of course we would expect that sort of mis-leading crap from wrongriki ! And just why would anybody care about what a non-working leach on society has to say on unions ? It has no experience and the only info it gets is from right-wing garbage factories !

MunsterWell here you go but thead , it isn't going to get anymore credible than the "Bureau of Labor Statistics" According to a January 2011 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, workers who belong to a union typically earn higher pay than non-union workers doing the same kind of job. Although it varies based on sector and occupation, the overall averages are striking. $917 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of union members. $717 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of non-union workers. That's a yearly difference in salary of $10,400 for union members vs. non-union members. Union members earn an average of $4.95 more per hour - which equates to a yearly difference of $10,300.

MunsterWhy does a right-wing republican repeater feel the need to abase unions and their members when unions have done so very much for all labor ? Wouldn't be so bad except for your total ignorance of unions and their affairs ! For "people" like wrongriki , who cant accept the facts that prove them wrong , its a sad state of affairs that even after being debunked they keep up this constant barrage of ignorant right-wing crappola !Wrongriki and others like it are all that's wrong with these forums !

Fact: Money that workers pay in dues goes back into running the organization—unions are not for-profit organizations. The improvements workers win in pay, benefits and fair treatment through their unions are far greater than the cost of dues. Dues levels are set by each local union through a democratic process. Myth: Most union bosses are corrupt. Fact: It’s a tragic situation when a trusted leader betrays the membership in any kind of organization. However, for every high-profile story that is in the media about a corrupt union leader, there are thousands of regular, honest leaders who are never profiled. Myth: Unions are quickly shrinking. Fact: Actually, the number of union members has stayed steady for the past 50 years, but the workforce itself has grown. Sixteen million working men and women in the United States are union members. We are ohio.co m Posted 11 days ago. MunsterMyths and Facts About Unions Myth: Unions are outside, special-interest groups. Fact: Workers are the union. A union is simply a democratic organization of working people standing up for their rights on the job and in society. Unions also bring people together in the community to stand up for issues that matter to all working people. Myth: Unions mean more conflict in the workplace. Fact: Unions can make the workplace a more harmonious place to work. A union contract allows the company and workers to sit down as equals and discuss problems as they come up. Without a union, workers’ lives are often in more turmoil because they have to deal with more favoritism and less economic security. Myth: Companies close due to unions. Fact: Companies close for economic reasons—and the vast majority of companies that close are nonunion. Some companies, however, like to keep this myth alive by illegally threatening workers who attempt to form a union ! Posted 11 days ago.
