nelsona19 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Found out this morning that my shop is going union. Anybody been through this process? Sounds like it will be a good deal for us if it goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saunoras Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The only Ford truck shop in the area shares Sterling and Isuzu and its a union shop. Nothing but problems come from there. Known as the laziest crooks around. They sell the hell out of trucks though and outfit the bodies in house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The last time a union tried to push it's way into Alberta, anyone supporting it was looking for new employment. Haven't been in one myself, so I can't give anymore info than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_E Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've worked for both union and non union shops. I personally prefer the union, but there are a lot of factors that can be different for everyone's own situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalt Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have been on both sides.There are positives and negatives of Union, unfortunately negatives out weight positives. Union is not a cure all for FUBAR shop, it is just band-aid. You must fixed shop first and get everybody on same boat otherwise there will be chaos.Union protects seniority and lazy workers, nothing you can do once Union is in! That being said, why Union, we got laws that protect us, on top of that I certainly don't need to pay expensive one time initiation fee and weekly union fees to protect me while the Union Rep wallet are getting bigger and bigger.One more thing, if you ever decided to leave Union shop, then you may have to pay first to apply Union withdrawal card / application otherwise they can go after you to pay what you owed them.( .....kinda stupid...doesn't it......)
