That's not the UAW... UAW from my experience pays a line worker a lot of money for little work, with great benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans too. There are a lot of unions.. and some do more for the low level employee than others.
CWA is the union for Bellsouth employees. Those guys wouldn't know their head from their ass. Yeah the pay, contract term, and health insurance benefits are great, however, if one thing goes wrong, you lose your job and the union just shuts their door on you. Where's the protection then? They take 2hrs pay each paycheck for union dues and do nothing in return other than what you already get when you start. Mind you, you get paid the same as a non-union worker so what's the point of the union if you don't have a rep, that you're paying don't forget, to represent you in the event of a problem.....
