Do You Or Did You Ever Belong To A Union?

I would definitely belong to a union. Unfortunately if you work for big retail and even imagine the "U" word, they take you out back and stone you.
 
When I worked for a city hospital all employees were union members. When the hospital became a University of FL teaching hospital, and not run by the city, it was no longer union.
 

I was in 3 unions during my working years and served as a shop steward for 2 years till I finally figured out where all the union dues were going.
Last company I worked for (11 years) I did everything I could to keep union organizers out of my company and succeeded.
 
When I was an electrician apprentice in the 1950s in the coal
mines in Scotland, I had to learn all other trades for one month
each one, before I got to our chosen profession, so I was
required to be a member of the union for each trade involved.

I had was in about 14 or 15 unions, as an apprentice I had
to pay between 1 penny and 3 pennies each week.

As soon as I could, I left for the R.A.F. and only once afterwards
joined one union as it was required when I worked a Heathrow
Airport.
