Re: 20+ People fired at ATT today, more tomorrow.
I'm a female. When I started working at age 16 many years ago, I became a member of the UFCW union in California. I had great benefits, great health care, 100% health, dental, vision, pension, retirement, 401K and better than average wages compared to all the non union employees I knew..
My husband was in an Union as well. He earned a great income and also had great benefits. We never worried about being fired or laid off.
He and I both now have interest earning accrued pensions and retirement plans that will see us through many 'golden' years to come.
I know some people hold unions in disdain and feel that union workers are not educated ( not correct, btw) but many workers receive protection and benefits, which are much needed and appreciated, especially while working through college.
Moving to OK, with it's pathetic average wages and high cost of health care, forced us to start our own company and become self employed to even come close to making the incomes we were accustomed to.
So, now, we're on the the other end.. yes, this right to work state has its benefits .. for an employer.
