A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

That's roughly what I pay and I just got two retroactive 3% raises and a massive increase in my benefits thanks to my union. My employer wanted to cut people or freeze pay and the union made them back down in everything. We got everything we wanted and didn't need to compromise... Worth every penny in union dues. I'll have a cheque for a few thousands dollars mid July now.

Unionize!

Not all unions are good but not having a union is typically far worse.
