It was all over the news one day. They showed employees showing up to work just to find out that the store was permanently closed. They said they weren’t getting enough customers in order to keep the store open. I get that companies go under but these companies don’t tell the employees that they’re going under is horrible. They have to get the last bit of work out of you then have you looking for other employment. I guess if they inform you about the situation you probably find other employment before they go under.

Union labor is the ONLY way that workers can participate in democracy. Union labor gives workers a voice at the table when decisions about their wages, hours and working conditions affect their lives . If you believe in democracy,you believe in Union labor. Consider, you enter a contract to buy your truck, you enter a contract to finance your truck, you enter a contract to receive health care, you enter a contract to buy your home. A union contract is an agreement , entered into by equal parties, that spells out the terms of a relationship . What on Earth is wrong with that? As important as your livelihood is to your family, your community and yourself, you would refuse to have a written agreement, that YOU negotiate to protect your job?? I’ve been working since I was 8 years old, always had a paycheck . My jobs with the Teamsters were the best jobs I ever had. Being a union member helped put my children and grandchildren through college, gave them affordable and excellent medical care, maintained our home. If it wasn’t for the Teamsters, I may have ended up like a lot of other working people- no pension, no affordable medical care and no hope for the future. Union dues?
