True, not many left.

I’m Union and can see it’s going away. It’s not needed in a lot of industries. If you are good at what you do,you will get paid accordingly. It’s called supply and demand.

I have mixed feelings about Unions, I'm well aware they are needed in many shops/Industries, but having been on this Earth for over 72 years I also have seen shops go out of business and even out of Country do to wage & benefit issues being higher than companies can pay and still remain competitive.

Well I have a small union pension coming to me when I turn 55 so hopefully they don't go away before I can collect my money!!!!!111

The union pension we had was protected and the union couldn't touch it. I was able to withdraw half at 50 and the other half at 55 and we invested it elsewhere

Ours doesn't work like that. We have credits and each credit is worth $109 a month so I have 16 credits. I'll get about $1600 a month when I turn 55. I can take an early pension at 50 for 50% of that but that would be dumb. We can't just withdrawal it or I would have done that 20 years ago and put it in an IRA.
