This issue is much greater and more important than YOU with YOUR accounting position.

Unions are about WE. Together we give power to our collective voice. Alone we are powerless. Unions were traditionally Trade Unions and you joined green and then trained to reach higher levels of knowledge in your craft. There is a structure and when you reach higher levels of expertise your hourly wage increases.

My SIL is IBEW and a Master Electrician. He entered out of college not knowing a thing in a NON-Union shop. They didn't teach him a thing and he remained a laborer until, through a family connection, he got into the IBEW. Then those with knowledge trained him and the union had the classes he had to attend. He's a hard worker and one of the best in his field.

Unions serve many functions for their workers, not only in your limited area where you can go to college to be an accountant and not give a damn about collective bargaining.

I worked for Bristol Laboratories in Syracuse, NY. They were proudly non-Union and never worried about becoming a union shop. The reason they had no fear of that is because they gave their employees all the union benefits and wages. This is what the Unions did. Without them the company wouldn't have offered the pay scale and benefits.

We can't even begin to pay back all that Unions have provided for the workers in the US. All the sacrifices made for a better life and future for all workers. Are they perfect? No of course not. But just like we don't tear up our Constitution because we have crooked politicians on both sides and politicians who shame us with their indiscretions, we should all be supporting unions EVERY time they are under attack!
