The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

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!

It really sounds like the union has full control over you. I imagine you're probably best to stay with them unless you move to a "right to work State", and can find a job.

Moving is probably not an option. I think I'd just try to make the best of things where you are.

We didn't have a union in the Air Force or at the University, so I don't really have much direct knowledge here.

What's the charges and fines going to be?
The way I look at it is whatever puts the food on the table and keeps the roof over your head.
If the owner is dedicated to his company and your dedicated to him then follow him.
But.......
Will not the owner face penalties also?
They usually do.
Peace!
