      Depends on the position! Last contract adjustment really helps the part-timers rise above poverty wages. Has yet to be ratified but it looks promising.

      It’s good until you pay off the union that doesn’t provide until you’ve been a member for a number of years

      Things may have changed, but I noped out of the package handlers Union back in the 00’s when I was offered a shitty job at UPS because it looked like the pay was going to be shit until I’d suffered for years, then it’s be slightly less shit.

      /please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t want to spread misinformation, just want to share how shit the union system can be unchecked.
