Here is the latest. I called my union to see what the consequences would be if I left the union. The business manager informed me that if I left and did work in my former local, I would be brought up on charges. If I do work in any other local, it is up to the other local, if I get caught! Does anyone else have experience with leaving a union, or have first hand knowlege from family or friend. Right now the work outlook sucks, so having a job is a big plus!
