That's quite a specialized field. Not like there are thousands of linear accelerator techs around to do your job for $10./hr and work with no benefits. I'm sure your benefits are sufficient for you to keep yourself and your family healthy. If not then maybe you should start a petition to form a union. -- tfrionli
yeah I know I was just giving you crap hence the :P I meant no ruffled feathers by it. I think unions are good in some places and bad in others. Personally I don't think they could get anyone in the country that does my job to think about tying their shoes for $10 /hr. I honestly hate that there are jobs out there that the employer had to have a union make them do the right thing. If employers would just do the right thing and pay what they should we would not have all these issues.
Sorry for all you techs out there having to stress over this, this morning.
It's not the employee doing the right thing it's employer doing the right thing. Unions would disappear if some companies treated their employees better. Most employees do not really want the Union but do it after they see upper management laugh at them for being wage slaves. Management bring unions on themselves and then they get stuck with them. If you only work 40 hrs and get off on the weekend thank the Union from the past. If you would prefer we could change the law to no rules and you could work 60 hrs and 6 or 7 days a week for the same per hour wage like many companies do so called managers. Who got laid off at the banks the people that did not make the bad decisions and the ones that did got bonuses. That is when you get Unions. You get the best and the worst in union and non union. The phone company does everything by spreadsheet management so they micro manage but have no idea about what is really going on.
