14. Decent Pay = Union or 1/2 the Pay = Non-Union. Question??? |
|
I think you're describing a "closed shop" at the hospitals with unions.
Let's see, you can join a union and get a decent job with decent pay. Or you can insist on going non-union and get 1/2 the pay.
What's the question again??
There's a relationship between decent pay and unions. The unions negotiate the pay scale with management. If you don't want the pay, don't join the union.
There's also a relationship between lesser pay and non-union. No one negotiates with management on the employee's behalf except the individual employee. Management has all the cards. Management dictates the pay.
It's easy to understand that paying union dues get you better pay. Is it a good investment? You make the decision.
