    well i work at a nursing home. The nurses are trying to bring in a union. i am in the nursing dept and they are going to come after me hard to join cause i will be one of the main votes. i'm at a BIG crossroads right now.

    Re: union

    nah, don't join up unless you like not having your own voice and like other people making decisions about your job for you. You become a number in the crowd once you join a union. If you don't mind that then go ahead.

    I know me personally, I like to be able to negotiate my own things and handle my own problems so I know I am getting what I need and not what another group of people feel I need

      Typically unions are better for dirt bag employees that don't like to work. If your a lazy P.O.S. that likes to be a free loader then join, if not then don't.

          I would keep the union worker bashing to a minimum. This is probably going to get locked. Most union threads do.

          I personally don't care for them, but that is from my very limited experience with them. I'm sure there are situations when they are relevant and needed.

              wow
              no they are not
              unions protect you from dirtbag employers who like to take advantage of you

              Kristen,
              here is a reply that is as unbiased as possible
              I am for unions when they are needed, so take a look at your job situation and ask yourslef if you feel you need to be represented or protected
              do you want things to change or are they ok?
              if u feel u are being walked on or taken advantage of then yes you need a union
              if things are going ok and u feel the pay and benefits are fair then it is pointless, you will end up with a silent union or one that makes things worse

              hopefully intelligent conversation can continue without a lock...

                Do IT. LD is right. I'm a member of NEA the biggest Union in the United States. Protection, job security and learning more about the people you work with and how you can do your job better are a few things you get in return. I also receive brochures that include information on retirement plans, laws, career advancement and improvement. Anyone who says it's for people that don't want to work are naive of the benefits. It's there to protect the WORKER. Join and don't look back. :tup:

                  Re: union

                  my take on unions is they are a necessary evil.

                  in situations of neglect and mistreatment by employers, they help even the playing field for the workers..

                  but as is the case with most things that involve power, eventually the union becomes more harmful than good. production costs go up, and the company begins making less and less.. they make less, so they have less to put into things like r&d and production improvements. eventually you end up with a company that could potentially be crippled (aka, automakers)

                  like what was previously stated... If you like yoru current situation, and feel that things are going fair for the majority of the workers, i'd stay away from a union.

                        Unions are important tools that the common man (AKA you and I) can use to make sure we don't get trampled by big buisness.

                          I agree - - If you do a good job for your employer, they will take care of you & do what it takes to keep you around. If you're dealing with a slum-lord employer quit.

                            ya, until they decide you make too much and cut your *** out of the payroll with no warning. employers will use you until they find a way to find someone who'll do it for less money.

                              True, but don't forget, its in a Unions best interest to create conflicts. Without conflict, members will be sitting there scratching their heads wondering why they are paying dues for nothing. So bringing one in will undoubtedly divide the company and stir up sh*t for the sake of making themselves look useful and needed. Maybe not such a good idea if everything is going along just fine right now.

                              Maybe things aren't going so well right now. If thats the case, a Union could be a good idea. It depends on the present situation like LD said.
