In Reply to: RR / Union question posted by NCWayne on April 28, 2010 at 08:52:34:
I am a member of the IUOE,operating engineers.Boiler operator,not heavy equipment.As far as Im concerned my union is very disapointing at this time.Cost me about 800 bucks a year.I think my pension is pretty good,but I guess I will find out in about 7-8 years.The problem is!!!havent had a raise in 8yrs.Yes,its been tough for the company,small paper mill,family owned since 1906.15 yrs ago we were in the top three pay scale for the Rochester NY local 832.Also split shop,4 boilermen are union,50 employees in paper mill are non-union.I am still grateful that I have a job.Company says they have no money for raises,ok fine.So we ask union rep to go try and make some policy changes ie.vacation policy,shift scheduling,personal day options etc,etc.Things that wont cost the company a dime.Does the union even try to do these requests,nooooooooo.Its pathetic.Then over the years I hear about all the big shot union guys down in the big city(New York)being arrested for fraud,stealing,mob association.It just infuriates me.Im not even sure if my reply relates to your original question,but when I read you mention unions I just wanted to rant and rave. Thanks for listening.
