A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I’d rather use the money I’d pay for union dues to buy the most current video consoles.

Can't believe i remember this as an actual anti union poster slogan.

I'm a school bus driver and we're unionized (Teamsters) ... at least for now. Our contract states that if ever fewer than than 50% of the drivers are in the union, the contract is voided. A lot of the newer drivers are not signing up for the union because they don't want to pay the dues which are around $80 per month. We are surrounded by non-union school districts that pay their drivers about $8 less per hour and don't provide health insurance, PTO or a pension like we get.

In case this isn't obvious, school bus drivers are generally some dumb motherfuckers.

I hear management will take away pizza parties if we unionize.
