BTW - Did you sign up here just to ***** and flame. You have only been on this board for a day or so, and have made multiple posts with the same information and complaints.

It doesn't really matter who it is. Harping on agency shop reveals a lack of understanding of the legal aspects. You can't fire someone that has been employed for 25 years for not paying the maintenance fee Even if it held up in court, the legal costs of each of these battles isn't worth it. The majority of the non-members will be gone before the next contract is signed. How much capital should be expended on them? We got agency shop, the standard language that everyone gets in our situation.

They wouldn't be fire for "not joining the union." They would be fired for not paying the maintenance fee.
That begs the question: Why would it be illegal to fire a non-member, yet it's legal to fire a current member for quitting the union and not paying the maintenance fee? Aren't we all working under the same terms of employment?
Would someone please ask that tomorrow? I am sick about not being able to attend. Hopefully, can make it to another show.

Good catch. Typing too fast. Fixed it.
The lawyers must feel that they are on stronger legal ground and can win in the second case. From what I think I heard today, there is some precedent that they may be able to win in the first situation, but it's much more tenuous.
