The Halls are good for face value. I’m not going to get into the argument of how AMO works without union halls. BUT it works. Backdoor shipping was invented by MEBA and MMP so don’t even go there. AMO is way better now and members are very skilled and never have to worry about loosing their job/family support. The companies that looses a contract here…has multiple contracts over and the officers work on. NOT with greedy MEBA or MMP…
the Union halls $$ intake ultimately supports the salary for the 20hr/week onsite appearance of the all mighty union officials. They collect dues and they can recruit new union members (ignorance or otherwise) for more dues. MEBA even has a Dental office on Site at at Least one location! How much does that cost? No transparancy
Here is what someone should be saying, since they support the Democratic party:
They never put any pressure on any member for anything. They convinced me to join because they were so nice at the job fair. They are so nice, and they are willing to go out of their way to help you in any way they can. They never ask for $$ up front. They always give everyone an equal share of the jobs available.
