My union dues are 1/52 of my yearly pay. I make $25.77 an hour in an entry level job with no education requirements. Minimum wage here is $16.55 an hour.
You could have made -34.5% more without an union
Yeah you could have not bought like 5 xboxes instead
Well you may be making 50k before taxes, but you're paying like a thousand dollars a year in union dues! You could instead be making 33k with no union dues, and a smaller tax burden. Think of how much you could buy with that extra thousand dollars!
On a side note are you hiring, and how far are you from Wichita, Kansas? I don't mind a commute
