I agree. As long as you can hold onto that money or can readily borrow against something like a 401K to pay it back. Sounds like from those who have recently left they have figured out the repayment of taxes piece, but haven’t heard anything about the union dues part of you can get that back from the union somehow or if that is just the cost of doing business.
