    That’s like one month of US health insurance next year. Way more than worth it over being at the whims of some fuckhead corporation

    Haha my Union Dues… 240/yr.

    Pay in the five years before the union…no increase. 20 years of union, pay up 100%.

      This is why corporate America wants our population uneducated and tuned out and hooked on AI slop and distractions.

      No it’ll cost you, it comes out of your after tax wage. But it’s an investment into you and your colleagues futures for better wages, stronger protections and benefits.

    Delta knows their audience. Many pilots lean Republican and see themselves as rugged individualists that have made their own path. Meanwhile, the only reason they’re flying in many cases are socially funded training programs. Many from the military.

    In Australia, Union fees are tax deductible.

    They don’t cost you anything in the end.

    With all the layoffs right now, it’s a great opportunity for unions to make people aware about them and how they can be beneficial.
