Thus: the unions remain powerless, wages remain low, and employers have a
clear cut upper hand in any dealings with employees. This is also why people
with Masters degrees are working as clerks @ $8 per hour. Think of job
seeking here as an auction in reverse. You are asked for a resume (WITH
salary history). Low bid wins!
You have a right to work in Az, but at the cost of a right to a fair
wage, and the representation a union gives. WELCOME TO ARIZONA..........DALE

It means that in a job without union representation you don't have strength in numbers. You are on your own and can only pay for legal help and only win if you can prove a flagrant violation of the law.

People are starting to drink mixed drinks and cocktails. There are a couple stores that sell fresh seafood. We have Seattle and Starbucks coffee bars, and Eistein bagels. People are friendlier because we have concealed weapons permits. It takes three years to find a decent job. If you come here and immediately find a good job, odds are you'll be fired soon.

Arizona is a great place to work, once you remember the magic phrase, "want
fries with that?" And yes, a "frikkkin" master degree entitles you to
something.
2)So what? My past payrates have absolutly nothing to do with applying
for a job. I also consider this to be private information. Often these
employers will find they get what they pay for. If you choose to think "less
is more" more power to you. ( or less as THAT seems to make you happy) You
get what you pay for IF you are lucky.
3)Why join this union? They right to strike is gone and the union
cannot afford to help you. In Az, a union is REQUIRED to assist anyone, who
asks for help, even if they are NOT members. This is a great way to keep
unions from having any real power or even the money to fight for you.
Summation: I am NOT as PRO-union as one would think. Unions have
their problems too. But the way business is done in Az, I wonder if regular
unions might be better. The right to work, as a phrase, sounds great. But
the reality is less than perfect. No one is crying abuse, cept the Lady who
was fired for being pregnant.
And I for one agree that she was abused!

Labor relations was brought about by the passing of the Management Rights Act, or Labor Relations Act,etc. It allowed collectibe bargaining, with exceptions for certain professions or trades, ie, farm workers, doctors and nurses. If a majority of workers are polled and want a union, they vote for which union. It has to be a union representative of the trade. For example, truckers = a teamsters union. Shoemakers, a union familiar with boot or shoe manufacture and factory workers. When the union chapter is formed, it is only of those workers who fit in a like union. Factory maintenance or electricians would need a separate union than the bootmakers. Once established, the union leaders and management are REQUIRED to negotiate on three things: Hours, Wages, and Benefits, no more, no less. The contract is negotiated and agreed by management and ratified by the union workers, and signed. All contracts contain an anti strike clause. During the contract strikes are not allowed. Each party agrees to meet several months before the end of the contract expiration to renew or renegotiate. If management or union let the date of expiration slip by, and both parties agree, the old contract is usually good for another contract period. If eather side is acting in bad faith, there could be a strike or lockout. A strike without union approval is a wildcat strike. In contract negotiations, either side may attempt to add or subtract something other than hours, wages, or benefits. For example, labor may want covered parking spaces or better washroom facilities. Management may want to require car pooling, or require people to eat lunch on the premises. If anything is added to the contract it is required to be negotiated in each subsequent contract negotiations. The problem is that depending on the demographics of the union, they may negotiate away one item for a consession on another. Maybe give away dental benefits for higher wages. Maybe give away part of a raise to gain 401k contributions. Management may agree to build a lunchroom to keep from increasing the starting wage of new employees. When management tries to take advantage of employees, or break the contract, the union as a unit, with the financial resources of all the workers dues, and assistance from the national union will attempt to set things right. It could be settled by management, go to a federal mediator, or a federal arbitrator, who are federal judges per se. This gets expensive for both sides. Anything that is not covered in a union contract that would violate law or the Labor Act, could be an Unfair Labor Practice, filed with the Labor Relations Board., and may be filed by the union, or any individual employee not in a union, or where no union is present. This is where Berge Ford Allegedly screwed up. They may have violated federal law. Oops.

DALE > A masters degree at the least, permits a person to teach at the college level. Seldom will a University or College higher anyone with a masters degree. Education beyond a masters will increase a teacher's salary. Let's put that aside for a minute. You may be highly qualified and earn much more with experience and no advanced degree. People with degrees do get defensive. Right to strike. Most contracts have a no strike clause, but strikes are quite possible after contract expiration. All contracts to be legal, must have a an expiration date. Unions are required to help people to the extent it doesnt cost money. Once an attorney is required for the employee, or it goes to mediation and an outside mediator or arbitrator is needed, the employee must foot the bill if they are not union members. Almost all will join the union at that point. If the person doesn't join and proceeds, they better be wealthy, and management will take it to that level, knowing the employee will have to give up. Lots of people cry abuse, which is why unions work, and state and federal investigators are kept busy. Any individual in his/her own business works with a contract. That is from the solo roofer to Rush Limbaugh and Larry King. Rush decries unions, but he has a contract, and you can bet it's negotiated by attorneys, and his earnings increase each period. It's the same with common workers. They don't have an international presence or fan club, so they bond together for mutual job security. People point to Detroit, and say that the wages of the workers reached a point of putting them out of work. This is probably true, when measured against the cost of labor to build a Ford in Mexico or South America. But... this occurred when prices of cars was half of what they cost now.

No, I said he was fired because the business owner found someone
cheaper. He cannot blockade the business but he can sue for the contract
amount.

No it is not artificial. It is real wage. It is not more money but it is
not less. The employee also does not have the right to tell managemet
what product to make or how much to charge. they have no idea of the
profit or loss.
What is the moral difference

price fixing is illegal. Negotiating for hours, wages and benefits is
set forth in federal law. The brain dead unionist are the reason you
only have to work 8 hours a day, and have Saturday and Sunday off, a 40
hour work week and paid holidays. The unionists are also responsible for
getting you hospital benefits, death benefits and retirement. Do you
think this was all gained by people who kiss management on the cheek?
The people who have these benefits, won through labor negotiations over
the years, and denounce organized labor are freeloaders, or scabs as
they are commonly known. In fact, federal law has allowed unions to
refer to these freeloaders as scabs as a proper name.
