"Union fat-cats...myth or reality?"

So...you think labor unions are run by cigar chomping "Union Fat Cats", who receive outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury comparable to Saudi Arabian Princes, lording their unrestrained power over the entire United States of America... all on the backs of the union-enslaved workers they represent. Here's your chance to prove it.

And still regardless of all your efforts workers will have the choice whether to CHOOSE to work union or CHOOSE to work non union which does make it voluntary ! We are Ohio .co m

Munster’s question, “You do understand what "voluntary" means don't you?”

Answer: Voluntary means workers should not be forced to pay a union as a condition of employment.

. . .

“Letting workers opt out of union membership without being forced to pay “fair share” fees typically amounting to 90 percent of member dues is one change – singular – that would not revoke or weaken any worker’s collective bargaining privileges.”

You do understand what "voluntary" means don't you ? What an idiot ! These are voluntary memberships that offset the cost of printing newsletters that are sent to retirees ! Yeah , dues of 12 dollars a year ! What a putz ! These aren't dues , they are membership fees ! So I guess wrongriki again LIES !!!And they are voluntary , which means they don't have to do it !

Why does a right-wing republican repeater feel the need to abase unions and their members when unions have done so very much for all labor ? Wouldn't be so bad except for your total ignorance of unions and their affairs ! For "people" like wrongriki , who cant accept the facts that prove them wrong , its a sad state of affairs that even after being debunked they keep up this constant barrage of ignorant right-wing crappola !Wrongriki and others like it are all that's wrong with these forums ! (we are ohio.co m )

Do do understand what "voluntary" means?

Voluntary means the Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment

The Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment would mean voluntary union memberships

Munster’s LIE ~ “retiree's no former active union members pay dues”

The long-time retired “dues exempt” USW member LIES again ~ “retiree's no former active union members pay dues”

. . .

“What is the cost of a Retired Unified Membership?: Any OEA active member who retired after 1985 shall be a unified member of the OEA-R and NEA-R. Current Unified retired annual dues is $45.00 and Unified Life dues is $300.00.”

****ohea****/retired-membership-status

. . .

Just why would anybody care about what a non-working long-time retired dues exempt leach on today’s USW workers has to say about the workplace freedom amendment?

No need to pay those OEA-R and NEA-R dues when you can become a NEA/OEA union boss and live off the workers’ compulsory union dues for FREE.

Like I said , if this so good for labor why aren't they supporting it ? Republican super PAC's are the real money behind all this attack on working americans ! Since 1979 the average pre-tax income for the bottom 90% of households has decreased by $900, while that of the top 1% increased by over $700,000, as federal taxation became less progressive. From 1992-2007 the top 400 income earners in the U.S. saw their income increase 392% and their average tax rate reduced by 37%.[18] In 2009, the average income of the top 1% was $960,000 with a minimum income of $343,927.[

Well here you go but thead , it isn't going to get anymore credible than the "Bureau of Labor Statistics" According to a January 2011 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, workers who belong to a union typically earn higher pay than non-union workers doing the same kind of job. Although it varies based on sector and occupation, the overall averages are striking.

$917 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of union members.

$717 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of non-union workers.

That's a yearly difference in salary of $10,400 for union members vs. non-union members.

Union members earn an average of $4.95 more per hour - which equates to a yearly difference of $10,300.

And yet the Know Nothing Expert still cant wrap its pea brain around the fact that as retiree's no former active union members pay dues ! So all its typical half-truths and lies don't mean anything ! Of course we would expect that sort of mis-leading crap from wrongriki ! And just why would anybody care about what a non-working leach on society has to say on unions ? It has no experience and the only info it gets is from right-wing garbage factories !

Munster’s LIE ~ “retiree's no former active union members pay dues”

The long-time retired “dues exempt” USW member LIES again ~ “retiree's no former active union members pay dues”

. . .

“Soar provides a way for retired members of the USW and their spouses to remain a part of one of the most respected and effective organizations in America”

“The dues are $12.00 per year for a retired USW member and $3.00 per year for a surviving spouse or widower of a USW retiree.”

****usw****/resources/soar/about?id=0006

. . .

Just why would anybody care about what a non-working long-time retired dues exempt leach on today’s USW workers has to say about the workplace freedom amendment?
