AFGE to be more precise. And I'm not at all looking at the politics or big picture aspects of it so please trying to keep this topic tame.
Afge was at our orientation today talking about their benefits and promising$100 to anybody who joined on the spot. Everybody's hands came up at that point. I like to think of myself as a rational person that likes to look into things before committing. One of the reps answerd my question that the $100 was still available if I signed up at a later date.
Some of their benefits sound nice but are very vague and also most aren't things I use regularly. If I'm paying $80 a month I'm not actually saving if I get 200 dollars off something I only buy once a year.
Also ive read what seems to indicate that unions must "protect" employees even if they are not paying members. Is that true?
Basically I'm wondering if $20 every two weeks or roughly $1k a year is worth it financially and if nonmembers are also "protected"
