BarterClubHere's one weird trick that billionaires don't want you to know: Join your union.
TonSo, how many of you are in the position to become a union member?
I’m an IBEW member. They don’t have the same pull here that they do further north, but our contract does get us better pay than most jobs in my town. The only catch is we’re doing hard skilled labor, so we should be making way more in the first place. We also have a no strike/lockout clause in our contract which really stuck out to me as something that hinders the union from having teeth. If it came to a strike here though, knowing my coworkers, there’d be a line of scabs waiting to cross the picket line for brownie points.
I am an EE, never worked with an IBEW guy who didn’t do his job well.
I guess in theory I could could start paying IBEW. They do take electrical engineers. Not sure what that would accomplish.
I am having trouble understanding what the Y axis is here. Is it income share or percent of workers in unions or both at the same time?
MiladyBoth. It’s percents.
Right so percents of two different quantities on the same axis.
I don’t think I have seen that before.
