I once belonged to a union and served my apprenticeship through them. If you were friends or related to any of the business agents or manager it's was great cause you'd never be out of a job. I wasn't fortunate to be either so i had to go to the bottom of the list if i was laid off and if the list was a long one, i'd be outta work for a month sometimes. What i really didn't like about the union is when they insisted that i vote for their choice of political candidates or i'd be on the list a long time....of course i never did and finally got me a job with the county and stayed there until i got hurt.
