Once you join, you can’t get out until you quit your job, retire or die. I continued my union dues into retirement and now they won’t stop taking their dues out of my retirement check. They won’t let me drop out of the union at all. OPM says they aren’t authorized to help me. The union says to go through OPM. I’m thinking I’m going to need a lawyer.

Like getting car insurance after you crash your car.

I used to be a part of the union, until I realized how great my relationship is with my working staff. I had a problem my first year as a teacher, and the union wasn't helpful for that problem. So I have been union free for 7 years. I still get the protections of the collective bargaining agreement.

I was searching this topic and came across your channel. I'm iffy about unions because I've experienced not properly being represented in the past and I was actually a shop steward at the time. I've experienced too many times a union rep getting you all pumped up about a grievance. Telling me I had a clear violation and when it was time to go to the table pull the rug right out from under me. Leaving me standing there looking stupid. My grandmother passed away and in our contract it clearly stated grandparents as immediate family. For immediate family the contract states you receive 3 days of bereavement pay to attend the services. I actually supplied my company with a copy of the service program per their request to prove I attended my grandmother's funeral. They denied me my bereavement. The union rep was adamant that my rights were violated and that they were going to get me my 3 days just like other employees received theirs. Got right to the end and the union caved to the employer. The union rep told me that the language of the contract needed to be changed. That wasn't true. The contract clearly stated it in a way that it didn't need special legal interpretation.

I once got a piece of pie that was shaped like a square. It was perfectly square shaped. It wasn’t a wedge at all. I don’t know why people keep saying that pie slices are shaped like wedges because they’re not.

Actually, the union can’t be discriminatory towards nonmembers. The unions are also funded by our tax dollars.
