The Union didn't teach me the skills to get the job, didn't take the test for me, didn't go to interviews for me.

You purposely are failing to understand. I'm not being obtuse at all, I'm being clear as crystal.

I'm not beholden to them for anything. It so happened that a job I wanted was a Union represented job in a business which I have found much to my displeasure desperately needs a Union or Unions (look up the great postal strike and the reasons for it........).

There is work outside the postal service, there is life outside the postal service. It is a means to an end, not the end itself.
You are a Union Member. I am not a Union Member. The Union makes your decisions for you. I make my own decisions.

If the Union decides you need to be in contact 24/7/365, you will have no choice. But wait, you are a Union Officer, you make the rules then? I can understand your position now. The Union Rules dont apply to you because you make the rules as an Officer?

To make it simple.

Union Mindset: group think.

Individual Mindset: self think.

The above is my opinion, and you continue to prove it to me as proof.

I do not get, and probably never will, the union mindset. I dont need some dic in a suit to negotiate my pay and benifits. I can do that on my own.
