A lot of contradictory statements here; lets address a few.
...I'm not giving my money to somebody for nothing.... I agree, you shouldn't give your money for nothing, but what do you base these facts on??
If you "pay" a union (dues) and you get more money, better time off (pay for time you in the past were waiting to clock in) than where is the problem?? If someone works for you, to help you get a fairer, better deal with your employer, do you only think its "fair" if they do it for free??
Think about it.

You inter react with UPS drivers, what kind of money do they earn compared to you?? What do they get paid for that you don't. You
know they pay dues, and you don't, so you assume your ahead in that regard. Ask the right questions and prove to your self that your non union work rules/pay is superior to UPS, do your homework, don't just assume anything.

You see this BS proves you know nothing about unions, the dues you'd pay or the cost/benefit of being unionized. Come on, the union gets $3.50 out of a $4 raise, do you really believe that??
Me thinks you buy into the company BS a little too much
