Good. Sounds like you know how to choose wisely. Some people on here don't want to take advantage of the choice they have, which is to work in a non-unionized workplace, rather than a unionized one.

WOW....I guess if a boss does not want to be a boss for much longer, then you are right, he won't listen to his non-union workers and will not have a business to be the boss of....

I choose wisely 26 years ago....I looked to my future

Just like I am setting my son up for future, he is 13 now, at 14 he can legally work at Publix. After school and during the summer.

He already has a bank account, keeps tabs on it...

Unless you are talking about the broom pusher, then yea, but that's about as far as it goes in the real world.
As your comment suggests its not always true. But it is and was true, that many lost jobs because of their pay level and because of a lack of a union were unable to return to those jobs as the economy improved.

This is real world as it gets.

I agree. Georgia comes to mind with their college program for residents to get free tuition.

Again another reason to not need a union.

LOL. People saying such things went on in the non-unionized workplaces I was in. One girl said, "That's not my job", so much it was joked of her, "Well, what if she got pregnant, what would she say?" "It's not my job!"

I'd like to see some data on that, because of their pay level, they were fired....

I'm not saying it did not happen, however, what companies are you talking about?

Any company CEO that is willing to get rid of experience to pay less, is not much a CEO.

Of course it does. The difference is that in a non-union workplace, the boss can fire those folks. As opposed to say, teachers that are unfit to be in the classroom, but cannot be fired. So they're paid to sit and do nothing.
