The UTU sucks for me on a local level. The company doesn’t honor the contract and the union says “oh they can do that”. I pay $100 a month for a parking spot. I agree with people bitching that unions protect lazy people, but it protects good workers that makes a mistake from being fired on the spot. It also protects the employee from being bullied by a big corp. I’m talking about what i have seen personally with the company I work for and the union I belong to.
