Do any of you belong to unions?

Worth it. Unions get a bad rap because people think they save bad worker’s jobs. But in my union they protect the contract. It protects workers from being retaliated against simply because your boss doesn’t like you. It protects women when they speak up about sexual harassment. For example in the news there’s were lots and lots of women who admitted being afraid to speak up because they would get fired or did speak up and did get fired. Unions would make sure this did not happen. And depends on the size of your union, they help negotiate salaries. This is important because many times we don’t know our own worth and are willing to accept a lesser salary just to have a job. In general, unions jobs are better paid than non union jobs, with the addiction of salaries, and benefits like retirement.
