So, how many of you are in the position to become a union member?
I’m an IBEW member. They don’t have the same pull here that they do further north, but our contract does get us better pay than most jobs in my town. The only catch is we’re doing hard skilled labor, so we should be making way more in the first place. We also have a no strike/lockout clause in our contract which really stuck out to me as something that hinders the union from having teeth. If it came to a strike here though, knowing my coworkers, there’d be a line of scabs waiting to cross the picket line for brownie points.
Yup same.
Get higher wages. Garenteed raises, sick, vacation, payed holidays, floating holidays, and a lot more.
I am an EE, never worked with an IBEW guy who didn't do his job well.
Everyone. The IWW accepts anyone in any (or no) job regardless of any other union membership. Beyond them, if there is no recognized union at your workplace and you want one, then be the change and start organizing a union.
I guess in theory I could could start paying IBEW. They do take electrical engineers. Not sure what that would accomplish.
