Used to be TCU and Billybbrew is right totally useless. UFCW useless.
Glad I'm not a union member any longer (protect those will seniority over those who are better workers, sad). |

I am grateful that I have my seniority, I'm number 4 in bidding, number 7 in company, but that's all I have. I suppose in this day in age of them talking about laying off 10 people, it's the closest thing to job security anyone can get. Everything else has been stripped or given away by the Union. Not to mention our dues are around $65/month and do NOT include a pension plan. We used to be able to bid within and be allowed an opportunity to qualify for jobs, now the company can hire directly into a craft (recommended by the union), meaning they don't really promote from within anymore...etc. etc. I don't mind the union if they do something more than just allow me to choose my vacation over someone else with less seniority. |

No pension plan just 401k. We do get to bid on jobs but it doesnt mean anything they can still put you anywhere they want. |
