If you never plan to join one, it appears you must be anti union.
I think unions should be compulsory and those who refuse to belong shouldn't be permitted to accept the benefits....such as the 8 hour day and weekends we enjoy...and pay rises.
i was a member once. when i was a apprentice.
the bloke who i was working for could no longer afford to employ me.
so I rang the union and told them the story, i didn't want them to make him keep me or anything.
all i wanted was some help to transfer my apprenticeship else where.
now seeing how the union organiser/representative is out and about all day they would know who was looking for staff.
i was told they could do nothing for me and i was on my own.............that is the exact words.
well i found another employer and had my apprenticeship transfered over. no help from the union.
a couple of months later the union rep come onto site and was talking to me and asked if i was a member.
when i said no and refused to rejoin, i was called a leach among other things.
