You pay the UAW for your insurance. What do you think your union fee's go towards? As for "severance" pay - that's not always the case. As the General Motors "Delphi" (UAW) in Moraine, Ohio how much severance pay they got when their plant closed.
Erh, your union dues are around 100 a quarter.. your fringe benefits equate to around 30 an hour most of the time. And the reason the workers in Ohio didn't get shit is because of what happened in detroit, they took a huge cut. But every single worker "as far as I know" was offered another job at another plant. Half of the workers didn't even have a pension because of an agreement in 1999, and they were fighting for it.
God damn those workers wanting fair pay and a good retirement. Sons of bitches.
I'm a 4th generation union worker, my great great grandfather was a union "redneck" coal miner in Wheeling, Wva. You won't win this discussion.
