To all the union haters, slap down the pay slips and talk about the benefits;
I pull down $54,600 base salary along with $2300 in holiday money, roughly a grand or two in FLSA money, and 3$ job incentive bonus. On top of that very liveable salary I participate in a 25 year pension plan, am offered a deffered comp 403b accounty, and recieve top notch health insurance. I am allowed such perks as unlimited shift swap / sub time, 3 thirteen day vacations a year and recieve 24 hours of pay or comp time every 3 months that I don't call in sick. Lets just say the union dues are worth it...
