    Yep you’re totally right. I’m in a union making 15 dollars an hour more than I would outside of the union in my trade. And I get pension and top end benefits. Unions are the shit.

      I work in a non union workplace and my wages are twice that of similar jobs in my company in other parts of the country, because unions are strong in this region so nonunion companies have to offer more just to keep workers. Unions are awesome. I wish there was a way for me to send some portion of my check to them as thanks for the benefits they’ve indirectly given me.
