That contestant needs to just keep swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I assumed it was a chick rapping, and I never knew differently. They play it all the time on XM Backspin, and I found that out. It was a life changing moment.

HuskyCaucasian Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I ask this carefully, so PLEASE dont turn this into a political thing. I live in IL and my department just voted to unionize. They scheduled the vote at a time when I was unable to attend, so i didnt even get to vote against it. I contacted the union group representing the department, and she basically said that was the time to vote as agreed to by the organization and the union leadership and i was S.O.L. I have ZERO desire to be a part of this process, and no desire to be a part of this union. What are my options, other than getting a new job. My understanding of IL law is that I am required to be a part of the union, even if I dont want to be.

StrangeSox Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't think you have to join the union, but you have to pay the union dues because they'll still be representing you in negotiations and legally required to represent you in any other labor disputes, at least that's my layman's understanding of it. Some states, maybe all, allow you to opt-out of some portion of the union dues if the unions engage in politicking, basically you'd just be paying for the representation.

I dont have to be a part of it, but i still have to pay. what a joke. You are still benefiting from their negotiations and they still have to represent you in disputes. In a Right-To-Work state, you get those benefits but you aren't required to join a union or pay dues, which would make you a free rider. I am not in a union, I'm not a labor lawyer etc. etc. so your best bet would probably be to just call the Illinois Dept. of Labor and ask them about it. edit: this might be a decent summary, though the language seems pretty pro-union: http://www.canmybossdothat.com/category.ph...27&state=IL Edited January 23, 2014 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of IL law is that I am required to be a part of the union, even if I dont want to be. You pretty much have to get another job or join. Even if you don't "have" to join, there will be ugly pressure to join anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
