The Union
Representation for allThe union. So many opinions when it comes to this subject. The fact remains that you are paying anywhere from $300 to nearly $1,000 a year to the union in the form of dues. I like to call it a retainer for services. Knowing what those services are would be a good idea, since your already paying for these services. Your not paying for these service out of your pocket, because you never see the money in the first place as it comes out of your check every month. What the union offers are quite a few services that are great. The union also offers services that no one is even aware of. Knowing these things are important as you never can know when you need something and knowing where to get this useful information, help, or service is a good idea. The following are a list of some of the services the union offers.
